And in this scenario, Peru has a historic opportunity, because our country not only possesses mineral resources, but also something even more important: the potential to become an indispensable strategic partner for the development of the new global economy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n<p>Speaking before business leaders and government officials, the Minister of Foreign Affairs stated that the new international landscape requires strong institutions and stable public policies. \u201cNo country can sustain long-term public policies, attract major investments, or consolidate development processes without stability, continuity, and institutional trust,\u201d the minister said.<\/p>\r\n<p>As part of the strategy to strengthen Peru\u2019s presence in global supply chains, Pareja highlighted recent agreements with the United States and Canada to promote responsible investment, innovation, and sustainability in mining. \u201cIn the last few months, we have strengthened our cooperation with strategic partners through agreements aimed at promoting responsible investment, innovation, sustainability, and institutional strengthening in mining,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\r\n<p>Regarding administrative obstacles, Pareja expressed concern about the regulatory complexity that hinders mining development. \u201cThere are 265 administrative procedures across 29 central and local agencies that delay the viability of mining projects by years,\u201d he said. On this issue, he noted that it is necessary to continue advancing administrative simplification and the modernization of public management to unlock investment and capitalize on the current international context of high mineral prices.<\/p>\r\n<p>When referring to the sector\u2019s challenges, Pareja identified illegal mining as one of the most serious problems facing the country, due to its impact on security, the environment, and the formal economy. \u201cIllegal mining, primarily of gold and copper, has become a regional threat that affects security, the environment, and democratic institutions. Therefore, the State has an obligation to strengthen institutional capacities, ensure security in operational areas, and combat criminal organizations linked to this illicit activity,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\r\n<p>The minister devoted a section of his speech to artisanal mining, an activity he considered valuable for the jobs it creates throughout the country. In this regard, he urged the next Congress to pass the MAPE (artisanal and small-scale mining) law, \u201cwhich has been extensively debated by the current Congress.\u201d He also emphasized the importance of appropriate regulations to formalize and protect those who depend on this activity.<\/p>\r\n<p>At the end of his speech, Pareja stated: \u201cPeru wants to build long-term partnerships, attract responsible investment, and establish itself as a key player in energy and mineral security.\u201d He also said that the country has the resources, strategic location, and human talent to become a strategic partner in the new global economy.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Photos available at the following link: <a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/195630249@N08\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/195630249@N08<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minister of Foreign Affairs opened the XVI SIMPOSIO International Mining Meeting and highlighted the country\u2019s position in a context where demand for critical minerals is growing rapidly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":17211,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[130],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17269","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-releases"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
