Presidente del Congreso, Luis Galarreta, recibe a miembros de la Cámara de Representantes de Estados Unidos.
Peruvian Congress Chairman Luis Galarreta emphasized the United States assistance provided to Peru on different fields, mainly on strategic partnership to stop drug-trafficking in our societies.
"It is an honor to have you here at the Parliament, Peru's Democracy House, where we hold arduous debates, just as you do at the United States Congress," Galarreta said.
After noting the good bilateral relations and thanking the U.S. assistance in Peru's development programs, the Congress head called for a renewed commitment to combating drug-trafficking.
He said the Inca nation displays a sound economic and macroeconomic performance, despite the political noise.
"The reforms implemented over the past 25 years have prevented political issues from hindering the continued economic growth of Peru," he pointed out.
Galarreta was joined by Mario Mantilla and Mauricio Mulder, Vice-Chairpersons of the Congress Board of Directors.
Later, U.S. House of Representatives members met with their peers at different Peruvian commissions.
