Peru Wishes to Strengthen Cooperation with ASEAN

“In this time of economic difficulties in some parts of the world, Southeast Asia is a healthy place for business opportunity for the Latin American States like Peru and the Pacific Alliance for the next 30-50 years,” stated H.E. Mr Roberto Seminario, Ambassador of Peru to ASEAN on the occasion of presenting the Letter of Accreditation to H.E. Le Luong Minh, Secretary-General of ASEAN, on March 19 at the ASEAN Secretariat.

 

Ambassador Seminario expressed appreciation to ASEAN and its Member States for organising the ASEAN-Latin American Business Forum last year and the Forum for East Asia-Latin America Cooperation Meeting this year, which provided opportunities for interacting among business circles of both continents. However, he stressed that both ASEAN and Latin American groupings could do more to reach out to all business communities and further foster cooperation for the benefit of both peoples.

 

SG Minh congratulated Ambassador Seminario for assuming his post as Ambassador of Peru to ASEAN and expressed his hope that the ASEAN Secretariat as well as ASEAN would work closely with the Embassy of Peru to ASEAN to further enhance cooperation with Peru.
