“In time of economic difficulties
in some part of the world, Southeast Asia is the 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. 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
interacting opportunities for business circles in 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.
Ambassador Seminario spoke on the
occasion of presentation of the Letter of Credence to H.E. Le Luong
Minh, Secretary-General of ASEAN today at the ASEAN Secretariat.
Ambassador Seminario also expressed Peru’s interest in forging further
cooperation between Peru as well as the Pacific Alliance with ASEAN.
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.
