The President of the Republic Dina Boluarte on Tuesday called on Peruvian citizens to stand united and look optimistically at 2024.

"I call on all Peruvians to stand united and look with optimism at 2024; this 2023 that is now ending has been difficult, but here we continue to stand fighting firmly, joined by honesty and transparency," Mrs. Boluarte expressed.

The top official said her administration's priority is to achieve stability, economic reactivation, better citizen security, and our compatriots' progress.

Likewise, Mrs. Boluarte said Christmas and New Year holidays are approaching dates that generate deep reflection, with a view to continuing working for the nation, "something that will be achieved with peace and in unity."


"The love for the homeland and commitment to the defense of sovereignty are the Navy's pillars; these are the values that we see in the 74 new officers of the class made up of brave Peruvian men and women from various parts of the country who, after five years of effort and dedication, concluded this intense training stage," she expressed.

The Head of State said the Navy safeguards our sovereignty along rivers, lakes, and the sea. It also works for our homeland and to serve Peruvians in the most remote areas, through the Itinerant Social Action Platforms (PIAS).

"A Navy that is always there when the population needs it and that has to deal with the threats of nature such as El Niño phenomenon, developing (public) works in the country's north; thus, in unity, we move forward so that this El Niño (phenomenon) won't be very strong," she added.

Mrs. Boluarte also highlighted the construction of new maritime units at the Navy Industrial Services (SIMA), as well as its fight against terrorist remnants in the Valley of Apurimac, Ene, and Mantaro Rivers (VRAEM).
