Peru seeks to host World Economic Forum on Latin America


Peru is looking to host next year’s World Economic Forum on Latin America, which will be of utmost importance for the country and the region, Peruvian Foreign Trade Minister Rafael Roncagliolo said Saturday.

Roncagliolo told Andina news agency that Peru will make this proposal to Klaus Schwab, executive chairman of said organization, who is participating in the annual meeting taking place in Davos, Switzerland.

“The World Economic Forum has grown a lot and now they are doing regional forums, besides the one being held in Davos. Therefore, we want to propose that a World Economic Forum event takes place in Peru next year, which would be the on Latin America for Latin America.”

The chancellor added that meetings like that have already been carried out in Brazil and Colombia. Also, Mexico will host a new forum next April, which is why the idea is to take that meeting to Peru for 2013.

“It would be a World Economic Forum session in Lima on Latin America. It would be very important for the region,” minister Roncagliolo stressed. (Andina)
