“The visit that we are going to make to the president of Germany also serves so that we can seek greater investment for Peru,“ Boluarte said.

Seeking authorization The Executive Branch has submitted an official request to Parliament so that Boluarte can be authorized to leave the national territory from October 11 to 15, to travel to Germany, the Holy See, and Italy, where she will take part in a series of activities.

Within this framework, the Head of State reiterated her administration’s commitment to having the doors open to dialogue, unity, and joint work with all political authorities and civil society.
“I call on you to continue with this close collaboration in favor of national development; we are facing a new challenge that we can only tackle if we stand united; it is El Niño phenomenon, which will be stronger than the previous ones; this will put us to the test once again (…),“ she said.
The president indicated that the Government works tirelessly to tackle this climatological phenomenon. She added that, for the first time, prevention work is being carried out in coordination with regional and local governments.
“Here, all of us have to get involved (in this effort), and this prevention has to accelerate before El Niño visits us. We have to set a goal on a daily basis, move forward, and run so that, once El Niño has arrived, it does not find us short of supplies,” she said.
Likewise, the Head of State reminded citizens that the Government is allocating more than S/4 billion (over US$1.050 billion), which is not a small amount, so as to achieve efficient work at every administration level.
“We are sure that we will have your support shoulder to shoulder to deal with this climatological phenomenon; brothers, my message is clear and precise, let us build in a single embrace that country that we all want, a country that offers opportunities to all,” she expressed.
