H.E. Ambassador José Antonio García Belaúnde, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Peru, will visit Japan from February 23 (Mon) to 27 (Fri) at the invitation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan. H.E. Mrs. Mercedes Aráoz Fernández, Minister of Foreign Trade and Tourism, will also visit Japan with the Ambassador.
During his stay in Japan, H.E. Ambassador García Belaúnde will have meetings with Mr. Hirofumi Nakasone, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Japan, and representatives of relevant agencies, to exchange views on bilateral relations and the regional and international situation. He will also attend the opening ceremony of the “Peru Exhibition” to be held in Tokyo and a meeting of the Japan-Peru Economic Council (CEPEJA).
This year marks the 110th anniversary of the first Japanese immigration to Peru, and it is expected that the Ambassador’s visit will further strengthen the friendly relationship between Japan and the Republic of Peru, which has been promoted by President Alan García Pérez’s visit to Japan last March and Prime Minister Taro Aso’s visit to Peru last November.
