The ambassador assured that British investments will continue increasing in the next years. “The projections are good and I know that Peru is waiting to receive a significant amount of new investments,” he said.

Moreover, Ambassador Dauris said that social conflicts like the one in Cajamarca against Conga mining project will not scare away British investments in said sector.

“Like I have said, British companies which I have talked to still see important opportunities in the country. Besides, everyone agrees that it is vital to make a balance between mining and water, just like Peruvian President Ollanta Humala have said,” noted Dauris.

The main Peruvian exports to the United Kingdom are mining products such as tin, gold, silver and zinc as well as fishery and agricultural products like fruits and vegetables.
