Over the years, the Pisco Sour has become part of the national identity, pride, and joy of all Peruvians. Whether there is something to celebrate, meet friends, or welcome strangers and foreigners, this drink is always there.
For this reason, the Pisco Sour was declared Cultural Patrimony of the Nation in 2007 by the National Institute of Culture (INC), and the first Saturday of February of each year was decreed as National Pisco Sour Day - which leads to the establishment of the International Pisco Sour Day so that the world can also enjoy this drink.
We share with you the PROMPERU catalog with the history of Peruvian pisco and the elaboration of the majestic Pisco Sour, among other recipes (Chilcano, Capitan, Pisco Point, Pisco Tropical).

In 2022, despite the pandemic, Peru managed to start a new mine and will soon complete the construction of another. In addition, they have expanded several mines and received approval to start new mining projects. But recent social unrest is now jeopardizing contract compliance and stalled purchase orders creating notable challenges for Canadian mining suppliers in Peru.

On Monday, March 6th, at the 2023 Peru day at PDAC, we seek to identify lessons learned from these circumstances and identify opportunities in the context of enhancing the virtues of the Peruvian mining industry and overcoming the flaws that have slowed down its dynamism in recent years, by contrasting the views and proposals of mining leaders and senior government officers.

PDAC 2023 welcomes Indigenous artists and vendors who wish to showcase and sell their music, artwork, jewelry, etc. at this year's Convention. They have offered 5 complimentary tables on top locations available in Trade Show North. You van visit them on any of the 4 days of the event.

Also check out the sessions listed under the Indigenous Program. The Program provides a platform for discussion on fostering cooperative, respectful, and mutually-beneficial relationships between Indigenous communities and the minerals industry. It brings Indigenous communities and Indigenous-owned companies together with the industry and other interested parties to share experiences, exchange ideas, and network.

In November 2022, in the framework of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders' Meeting, the Hong Kong Secretary for Trade and Economic Development, Mr. Algernon Yau, met with Peru's Minister of Foreign Trade, Mr. Miguel Palomino, and the two parties announced the formal launch of negotiations for a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Hong Kong and Peru.

From February 6 to 10, 2023, a delegation made up of eight officials from the Vice Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism, and six other specialists in issues such as technical barriers to trade, market access, rules of origin, legal and institutional matters, as well as sanitary and phytosanitary measures, will travel to Hong Kong to start the FTA negotiations.

This first round includes negotiation meetings that will follow up on the work of the different technical groups and provide instructions that may be useful to reach consensus on the matters addressed by technical groups.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting 2023 took place in Davos, Switzerland, from January 16th to 20th, and was held on the theme, "Cooperation in a Fragmented World". It convened leaders from government, business, and civil society that addressed the state of the world and discussed priorities for the year ahead.

The Peruvian Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Ana Cecilia Gervasi, and Economy-Finance, Alex Contreras, were part of the Peruvian delegation that participated in the Annual Meeting which provided a platform to engage in constructive, forward-looking dialogues and help find solutions through public-private cooperation.

Within this framework, the Peruvian Ministers met with OECD Secretary-General, Mathias Cormann, who reiterated his support for Peru's accession process to the OECD and agreed that this process will contribute to the strengthening of policies and institutions.
Moreover, FA Minister Gervasi also held a meeting with the Vice-President of the Dominican Republic, Raquel Peña, and with her Ecuadorian counterpart, Juan Carlos Holguin, in order to evaluate the strengthening of the bilateral relationships.

The Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) has received the report entitled "Public financial management in Peru: an OECD peer review", whose recommendations will allow for tackling the challenges in the financial management of the State. This is one of the issues that Peru must address on its path to accession to the OECD.

The Peer Review report on public financial management was requested by the MEF to the OECD and financed by the Swiss Cooperation (SECO) in Peru, within the framework of the Continuous Improvement Program of Public Financial Management.

This report will allow the country to align its policies with the best practices of OECD countries.
