Bangalore a key city in India for Peru

BANGALORE: Javier Paulinich, ambassador of Peru to India said Bangalore is the most important city in India for Peru. "We've appointed the first honorary counsul for Peru here," he said.
Paulinich was here to commemorate Peru's 191st independence day and strengthen the opportunities related to mining, agriculture and energy resources and IT.
"We plan to meet officials of the forest department to chalk out diverse ways of conservation.We're building a delegation here to visit Peru," said Vikram Viswanath, honorary consul, Peru. The endeavour is to soon make Arequipa in southern Peru and Bangalore sister cities
"India and Peru have a similar love for all things traditional. Peru has a 5,000-year-old history and the only country in South America which has places like Caral, the holy city. Hampi is not unlike Caral and an amazing place to visit," the Indophile ambassador told STOI. Hampi is among his favourite heritage spots. "It's akin to Machu Picchu," he said.
