Canadian investors show positive expectations regarding investments in the Inca nation, as reflected in the countries' excellent trade relations, Peruvian Ambassador to Canada Marcela Lopez Bravo affirmed on Monday.

"Annual [bilateral] trade stands at US$4 billion, which means an increase in recent years," the diplomat underlined.

In this respect, she noted the need to diversify the market going beyond the mining sector, including "traditional and non-traditional products as well."

Remarks were made within the framework of inPeru's Toronto-New York Road Show, taking place on May 29-31.

The event seeks to encourage investors to commit S/20 billion (around US$6.1 billion), required to implement the Reconstruction with Changes (RCC) process following "Coastal El Niño" phenomenon disasters. 

The Road Show also aims to stimulate mining exploration by Canadian companies, taking into account the double listing on the Lima and Toronto stock exchanges.
 
inPeru's goal is to continue strengthening the Andean country's position in international markets, so that figures remain positive.
