Magali Silva, Peru's Minister of Foreign Trade and Tourism, announced that they had culminated the feasibility and market studies with Indonesia, so they would be announcing the start of free trade agreement negotiations with said country in the coming months.
Silva stated that another priority in these international negotiations was the restart of negotiations with Honduras, and that she would be receiving her Honduran counterpart in Lima next week.
Silva also stated that other Central American countries, such as Nicaragua and Cuba, had requested they resume negotiations for a trade agreement.
Furthermore, she said that the Deputy Minister of Foreign Trade, Edgar Vasquez, would be meeting with Indian authorities in New Delhi, so that they could start negotiating an FTA with that country.
"The world is wide, markets are vast, and, always with the help of the private sector and allies in the government, we are in the task of finding markets for our products," she added.
Turkey
Silva also explained that they were about to begin the third round of negotiations for a possible FTA with Turkey, which was suspended due to economic reasons, but that they would be resumed through the Peruvian embassy in that nation.
"We have no date yet, but we are conducting talks and there is a high probability that the third round of the FTA negotiations with Turkey will restart," she said.
Regarding a possible FTA with Russia, Silva said they respected the decisions taken by the United States and the European Union, which established sanctions on this country because of their foreign policy with Ukraine. "At the moment there is no conversation with Russia."
