Foreign Policy

Peru pursues a pragmatic, trade-oriented foreign policy with emphasis on free trade, investment attraction, and Pacific engagement through APEC and the Pacific Alliance. It maintains good relations with both the US and China (its top two trading partners).

Peru is an active participant in the Andean Community and CELAC, and has been engaged in addressing the Venezuelan migration crisis (hosting over 1.5 million Venezuelan migrants). Its mining sector makes it a significant voice on extractive industry governance and the energy transition.

MUN Delegate Guide

As Peru, you have deep historical credentials and significant economic assets. Your mining output (copper, gold, lithium) makes you a key player in critical minerals and energy transition discussions. Advocate for fair resource governance, environmental standards, and benefit-sharing.

Coordinate with Pacific Alliance partners (Mexico, Colombia, Chile) on trade and with Andean Community members on regional issues. Peru's biodiversity and Amazon forests give you a strong platform on environmental governance.

Be prepared to address the Venezuelan migration crisis -- Peru is one of the largest hosts. Use this to advocate for international burden-sharing and migration governance. Peru's political instability may draw scrutiny, but focus on institutional resilience and democratic recovery.
