During the event, participants exchanged views on the resurgence of political terrorism, as well as proposals for coordinated action to address the issue.

Minister Pareja reaffirmed Peru’s unequivocal condemnation of terrorism in all its forms.
Similarly, the diplomat underscored the South American country’s commitment to contributing to hemispheric and global efforts to combat this scourge.

Bilateral agenda
During the meeting, both sides positively assessed the state of bilateral relations and reviewed the broad and diverse agenda of the strategic partnership, which they will seek to further deepen with Peru’s incoming administration.
The Cabinet member underscored the priority Peru places on its strategic relationship with the United States—a commitment that has been recognized through Peru’s designation as a
Major Non-NATO Ally (MNNA).
Bicentennial and decoration
The Peruvian Minister also attended a reception marking the bicentennial of diplomatic relations between the two countries, held at the Peruvian Embassy’s residence.
The ceremony was attended by senior officials from the U.S. Administration and Congress.
On this occasion, recognition was bestowed upon Credicorp, Southern Copper Corporation, Buenaventura Mining Company, Fortuna Mining Corp., Cementos Pacasmayo, Intercorp Financial Services, and Auna, all of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
The distinction honored their outstanding contribution to Peru’s economic development and international standing by strengthening the country’s presence, competitiveness, and prestige in global markets.
The distinction recognizes her work through the Atlantic Council’s Latin America Center, which has played a key role in promoting strategic dialogue between the two countries and keeping Peru firmly on the United States’ political, economic, and trade agenda.
