Therefore, it is important to actively utilize public-private partnership schemes to formulate and implement successful projects, and to continue to focus on inter-project collaboration and collaboration with international organizations.(4) Necessity of Continuing Technical Cooperation That Leads to Long-Term Human Resource DevelopmentIn order to respond to the need to introduce new technology through technical assistance that is desired on the Peruvian side, startup support at universities, SATREPS and other assistance schemes can be utilized in addition to the technologies of private companies in order to deepen cooperation among universities and research institutes.(5) Maintain Cooperation with Communities of Japanese DescendantsThe Japanese-Peruvian community has served as a recipient of Japan’s ODA and a bridge-builder for development effects of ODA projects to Peruvian society as a whole. The cooperation that contributes to maintaining the identity and further enhancing the cultural, social, and economic status of the Japanese Peruvian community is an effective means to regard them as an ODA cooperation partner for Japan, and should be continued in the future.(6) Responding to Infrastructure Needs in Consideration for Peru’s Natural Environment and the Impact of Climate ChangeAssistance through various ODA modalities for infrastructure needs should be continuously reviewed. When this review is performed, the natural environment in the target region and the impact of climate change need to be adequately considered while keeping in mind the decentralization that is being promoted in Peru.

Furthermore, there are many cases in which the results of assistance by Japan have contributed to promoting friendly relations. In addition, from the perspective of support for the position of Japan in international community, it is expected that Japan and Peru will deepen the close relationship to facilitate cooperation between Japan and Peru in order to respond to international issues, and Peru has a remarkable record of activity in international community in such varied fields as reform of the UN Security Council, trade, environment, nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation. Furthermore, from the perspective of the impact on strengthening economic relations, such as the business deployment of Japanese companies in Peru, it has been confirmed that the number of Japanese company facilities has increased. Thus, the provision of ODA from Japan to Peru can be found to have the diplomatic impact of facilitating better relations.and narrowing Economic Development”The provision of assistance to facilitate sustainable economic development is needed to enable Peru to recover from the years of political crises in the latter half of the 2010s followed by the disaster of the novel coronavirus, which has been called the worst-case on the South American continent and matches the needs in Peru.
