Perus President, Dina Boluarte, affirmed on Friday that her country has taken a critical leap by presenting a memorandum to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to initiate the process of joining the organization.Submitting this document to the OECD signifies an essential stride for our country, and it is a testament to our growth, stability, economic integrity, reputation, and progress, Boluarte stated from the Government Palace in Lima, during her third six-month performance review.She recollected that a delegation, led by the President of the Council of Ministers, Alberto Otrola, was in Paris, France, last Wednesday to officially submit the document that initiates the implementation of the OECD accession roadmap.Dina Boluarte.
