LIMA, Feb 23 (NNN-ANDINA) — President Martin Vizcarra’s State visits to Portugal and Spain will strengthen bilateral relations and promote investments, Peru’s Foreign Affairs Ministry said.
According to the legislative resolution authorizing the trip, the Head of State will be overseas from Feb 24 to March 3.
It should be noted this will be the first time the top official visits the European continent as the Inca country’s President.
“This visit to two countries that are particularly close to Peru, with which we maintain privileged relations, will enable us to reinforce our presence with two Ibero-American partners and with numerous common interests,” the portfolio expressed.
President Vizcarra will visit Portugal on Feb 25-26. There, he will hold meetings with his Portuguese counterpart Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, Prime Minister Antonio Costa, as well as other high-ranking authorities.
This will be the first time a Peruvian Head of State visits Portugal.
Likewise, the statesman will participate in a business forum —in which the Inca country will be the central theme— in order to promote Peru as a destination for investment, trade, and tourism opportunities.
On the other hand, President Vizcarra will travel to Spain on Feb 27-March 1.
The Head of State will meet with King Felipe VI and Madrid Mayor Manuela Carmena, who will participate in the inauguration of ARCOmadrid 2019.
Furthermore, he will hold a meeting with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and other high-ranking officials.
In addition, an investment roadshow —organized by InPeru— will be inaugurated. This event is directed to executives of the Spanish Confederation of Employers’ Organizations (CEOE). Plus, its goal is to boost the Inca country’s image as an attractive destination for foreign investments. — NNN-ANDINA
