India took the opportunity to express gratitude for Peru's active participation in the Voice of Global South Summit (VOGSS). Former Peruvian Foreign Minister H.E. Mr. Javier Gonzalez-Olaechea played a significant role in the third edition of the summit held in August 2024. Secretary Mazumdar also extended his thanks to Peruvian President H.E. Ms. Dina Boluarte and former Vice Foreign Minister Ambassador Higueras for their contributions to the first and second editions of the VOGSS.
A significant moment in the meeting was India’s congratulatory message to Peru on the occasion of its bicentenary celebrations. Peru, which marked 200 years of independence, shares a deep historical bond with India, built on shared values of democracy, development, and diplomacy.
Discussions during the Joint Commission Meeting spanned several sectors, aiming to build a robust framework for future cooperation. Both countries emphasized the need for closer ties in commerce and trade, looking to enhance bilateral exchanges. Energy, mining, and defense were identified as critical areas where both countries could engage more deeply.
Additionally, the partnership in digital public infrastructure, traditional medicine, and science and technology was identified as a strong opportunity for collaboration. The Joint Commission focused on practical steps to move forward in these sectors, with particular attention to the potential benefits for both nations' economies and technological advancement.
India and Peru also discussed relevant multilateral and regional issues, reaffirming their shared commitment to working together in international organizations. The two countries noted their cooperation in multilateral forums and reiterated their shared goal of promoting peace, stability, and development in the global arena. Both India and Peru are active participants in various international bodies, including the United Nations, where they have worked together on numerous global issues, from climate change to trade regulation.
One of the significant outcomes of the meeting was the agreement to exchange visits frequently and periodically organize trade, cultural, educational, and bilateral events. Both sides expressed a strong interest in enhancing people-to-people connections, particularly through cultural and educational exchanges.
India's vibrant cultural diplomacy has long been a cornerstone of its foreign relations. The agreement to organize more bilateral events and promote educational exchanges will provide both countries with opportunities to learn from each other’s rich cultural heritage and contemporary innovations.
