LIMA, Nov 22 (NNN-ANDINA) — Peru has managed to strengthen its image abroad as investment destination given the clear rules it offers to businesspeople and investors, Pres Dina Boluarte said.
Boluarte led the presentation of the fifth administration report by the Executive Branch.

The Head of State said she had met with leaders of world powers during her latest trip to the United States, which has enabled Peru to strengthen bilateral and cooperation relations.

“Compatriots, we present a report on progress as clear sign of the transparency that we always practice; we are aware that there is a long way to go and many needs to be solved, but we are not going to stop; this is my commitment,” she noted.
Prior to ending her speech, the top official affirmed that her administration has nothing to hide.On the contrary, Boluarte said she is the person most interested in everything being done well, without room for corruption that had caused so much damage to Peru. — NNN-ANDINA
