Interview of the President by Raul Tola, America TV
THE PRESIDENT: Well, first of all, I remember Peru fondly from my last visit in 2002, and I’m looking forward to going back. I think it will be said, when people analyze the relationship between the United States and Peru, that during my time in office and the time of President Toledo and Garcia, we worked hard to put a good relationship in place. And so, on the one hand, I’ll be able to go and confirm the importance of the bilateral relationship, and then I’ll go to a very important meeting. And APEC is an important meeting this time, particularly given the financial situation in the world. APEC comes right after the economic summit we had here in America. So it means that it has the chance to embrace the principles, but it also has a chance for countries that did not participate in the summit here in Washington to express their views.
