During a meeting with World Trade Organization (WTO) Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, President Dina Boluarte on Monday reaffirmed Peru's commitment to the development of international trade.

"The top official reaffirmed Peru's firm commitment to actively contributing to the development of international trade on issues such as digital economy, internationalization of MSMEs, as well as revaluation of women and their contribution to economic-commercial activities," the Presidential Office reported via social media.

It also pointed out that Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala highlighted Peru's sustainable growth over the past 25 years, which has led to reducing poverty levels.

In that regard, the visiting dignitary congratulated the president for maintaining the good macroeconomic management in the country.

At a press conference, the WTO director-general affirmed that she had a favorable impression of Peru's economy, which is why she complimented the Head of State over the economic management.

"After all the challenges that Peru has had to face, it seems to me that it is very good to be able to maintain the country's growth," she said.


Subsequently, joined by the world trade high authority, the Peruvian dignitaries met with women leaders and entrepreneurs who lead small and medium-sized enterprises.

This event took place at the Government Palace in the Peruvian capital, Lima.
