Indonesia and Peru celebrate 50 years of friendship and cooperation, marking a significant milestone in their bilateral relationship. Both countries have moved beyond the category of Least Developed Countries (LDCs) according to the OECD classification, reflecting important economic progress. However, the realities on the ground reveal challenges and opportunities that still require attention and international collaboration. Strategically located on the western coast of South America with direct access to the Pacific Ocean, Peru has established itself as one of the region’s leading exporters, opening up a range of possibilities to strengthen commercial and strategic cooperation with Indonesia in the next phase of this historic alliance.
