Both sides welcomed the results of the first Joint Commission Meeting held in June, 2017 between India and Peru, and reiterated their commitment to work together, and to identify new areas for Bilateral Technical Cooperation.
The two sides highlighted the significant increase in bilateral trade in the previous year, when India became Peru’s seventh largest trading partner. India and Peru welcomed the progress achieved during the second round of negotiations for a comprehensive trade agreement covering goods, services and investments and underscored the importance of intensifying the negotiations for an early conclusion of the Agreement. The third round of negotiations will be held in August 2018, in New Delhi.
Both Parties, with the view of working together to promote bilateral technical cooperation in new and renewable energy on the basis of mutual benefit, equality and reciprocity, signed an Agreement between the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy of the Republic of India and the Ministry of Energy and Mining of the Republic of Peru on Cooperation in New and Renewable Energy.
