While I appreciate the diplomatic gesture, I wish our government would focus more on improving trade relations with our immediate neighbors first. SAARC countries need more attention than Peru right now.

Excellent move! Peru is a gateway to Latin America. Our pharmaceutical and automobile sectors can benefit greatly from this partnership. More power to Indian diplomacy! 💪

As someone who's lived in both countries, this makes me so happy! The cultural similarities between Indian and Peruvian traditions around food and family values are remarkable. Hope to see more student exchange programs!

The Ayurveda collaboration is particularly interesting. Peru has its own rich tradition of herbal medicine. This could lead to groundbreaking research in alternative medicine. Well done MEA!

I attended the Amrit Mahotsav in Lima - it was amazing to see Peruvians enjoying Kathak and trying Indian snacks! More such events please. Culture is the best diplomacy.
