Peru’s ambassador to the United States met with business leaders from major local companies and others from around the U.S. during a trip to Atlanta recently, according to a report by Global Atlanta.
The publication wrote that Carlos Pareja, who took up the post in September 2016, was brought to the Georgia capital by Business Council for International Understanding, a Washington-based group that organizes dialogue between government officials and on-the-ground business leaders. The organization stemmed from an initiative led by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The specific contents of the private talk were off the record, but the ambassador addressed broad economic themes and political developments in his country. Peru has promoted itself as a stable democracy whose hospitality toward foreign investment has put it on a steady growth trajectory.
The South American nation is a member of the Pacific Alliance, a commercial bloc with Colombia, Chile and Mexico. It was also a member of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the 12-nation trade deal championed by the United States but quickly discarded by President Donald Trump.
