In order to promote integration, inclusion, productivity and competitiveness in our country, it is planned to award projects through public-private partnerships, as well as projects in the areas of transportation, electricity, sanitation, health, education and tourism, said Dina Boluarte, President of Peru, during her message for Fiestas Patrias. Along these lines, it is proposed – through Proinversión – the awarding of 17 projects for US$3.2 billion between July and December of this year.

On the other hand, he stressed that it is time for Huancavelica to have an airport to boost connectivity and strengthen the region through activities that arise mainly from tourism.
“It is unacceptable that Huancavelica, one of the poorest regions in Peru, does not have an airport, which means that our sisters and brothers in the region have to spend long hours travelling by land to get to the capital and other areas of the country. For this reason, I announce that in the third quarter of this year the selection process will begin to develop the profile of an airport in Huancavelica, thereby strengthening our path towards economic, social and tourist development in the region,” said Boluarte.
