“There are interesting areas of possible collaboration - energy, fisheries, military-technical cooperation, education. At our universities, 89 students from Peru are currently studying. Training for more 200 military personnel in universities of the Russian Ministry of Defense is agreed,” Putin said at a meeting with the president Peru.
“Unfortunately, we don’t have such a turnover as we would like, although we have seen growth last year,” Putin said.
The Peruvian president expressed confidence that currently there is an opportunity to bring relations between the two countries to a "new quality level."
