The Minister of Transport and Communications, Aldo Prieto Barrera, highlighted that Peru is advancing in the consolidation of modern and competitive port infrastructure, which will strengthen foreign trade and position the country as a strategic connection point between South America and the main international markets, with an investment portfolio exceeding USD 2.3 billion.
Prieto Barrera emphasized that the commissioning of the Chancay Multipurpose Port Terminal marked the beginning of a new stage for the Peruvian port system, by bringing national markets closer to Asia and strengthening the country's integration with one of the most dynamic regions of the global economy.
He also reported that the MTC consolidated a portfolio of projects that will mobilize investments of USD 2.3 billion to expand and modernize the infrastructure of seven maritime ports, including Callao, Matarani, Salaverry, and Paita.
The Minister of Transport and Communications also highlighted the potential of the Callao – Chancay logistics hub, an economic, industrial, and port corridor that will contribute to transforming the way Peru integrates into international markets, while specifying that this process will be complemented by a modern framework aimed at attracting investments, streamlining customs procedures, and generating quality jobs through the development of private special economic zones.
"We must continue building modern infrastructure, facilitating trade, and creating the conditions to fully take advantage of the opportunities of the global economy," said Prieto Barrera, who stressed the importance of maintaining legal certainty, clear rules, and an environment of trust for investment.
Jenifer Alfaro Borges, representative of the International Union of Lawyers (UIA), presented an award to the Minister of Transport and Communications, Aldo Prieto Barrera, for his work in public management.
