At the VII meeting of PCC.II of CITEL, Peru signed a memorandum of understanding with Mexico for cooperation in information and communication technology

On June 23, 2006 Peru signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Mexico to cooperate in information and communication technology (ICT). This Memorandum will benefit us because, as it involves a Latin American country with similar characteristics, the best solutions to common problems can be identified jointly.

Regarding this, the Deputy Minister of Communications, Dr. Juan Antonio Pacheco-Romaní, indicated that this Memorandum is a manifestation of the intent to start technical cooperation activities, because it will provide a major incentive to promote the development of ICTs in the poorest areas of both countries.

He added that topics of interest for both parties have been identified, such as sharing experiences and models, in order to implement the best practices in the regulatory, economic and technical sector of telecommunications and ICTs.

“It is an opportunity to exchange experiences, highlight the progress achieved in the telecommunication sector of both countries, as well as learn about the policies adopted to promote the development of telecommunications,” he asserted

Furthermore, continued the Deputy Minister of Communications, topics such as community access to ICTs, rural telecommunications, policymaking and regulation of telecommunications and service convergence, administration of radio spectrum, wireless communications, and cybersecurity shall also be dealt with

The Memorandum shall be for five years, which can be renewed, and provides for the following cooperation activities: exchange of information on ICT breakthroughs and staff, study tours, and training programs

The Mexican Ambassador to Peru, Antonio Villegas-Villalobos, and the Deputy Minister of Communications, Juan Pacheco-Romaní, signed the Memorandum of Understanding in the framework of the VII Meeting of Permanent Consultative Committee II, Radiocommunication including Broadcasting, which is being held in our country.
