On November 5, the Embassy of Peru in Vietnam participated in the “Trade and Investment: Vietnam–Pacific Alliance” dialogue held in Hanoi. Organized by the embassies of Pacific Alliance member countries under Mexico’s coordination as Pro Tempore Presidency, the event brought together Vietnamese government officials, academics, and business representatives.
Peruvian Ambassador Patricia Ráez highlighted Vietnam’s position as Peru’s leading trading partner in Southeast Asia and identified key investment opportunities, including the Port of Chancay, the expansion of the Port of Callao, and the new regulatory framework for Private Special Economic Zones.
Vietnamese officials emphasized the Pacific Alliance’s strategic importance in Latin America. In 2025, trade with its four member countries reached US$11.4 billion, accounting for approximately 43% of Vietnam’s total trade with the region.
Discussions focused on expanding market information sharing, strengthening joint trade promotion efforts, and making better use of existing trade agreements, particularly the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
