The President of the Republic Pedro Castillo on Friday spoke briefly with his United States counterpart, Joe Biden, within the framework of the IX Summit of the Americas held in Los Angeles, California.

During their meeting, both leaders discussed the bilateral strengthening between Peru and the U.S., as well as economic-commercial cooperation to tackle the common challenges currently faced by the region.

Since June 8, the Head of State has been participating in the summit that brings together countries of the Americas, at which he has held meetings with other presidents, businesspeople, and regional leaders.


They discussed topics such as the continuity of the Majes-Siguas Project, as well as support for small and micro-entrepreneurs through Peru's Development Finance Corporation (COFIDE).


President Castillo also met with Chilean counterpart, Gabriel Boric, with whom he reviewed the bilateral relationship between both nations, as well as the strengthening of friendship ties.
