The Ministry of Energy and Mines (Minem) clarified that, in his capacity as president of the General Meeting of Shareholders (JGA) of Petroperú, he convened the session held on March 16.

“Subject to the alleged agreements published in the statement issued through the MEF Twitter account, regarding the session held on March 16 of this year, we clarify that said call was requested by the Minister of Energy and Mines with official letter 132 -2022-Minem/DM, in his capacity as president of the JGA of Petroperú SA, under the modality of universal meeting”, said the Minem.
