The Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur) convened its eleventh Public-Private Technical Table in Yurimaguas, Loreto, to accelerate the development of the Amazonas North Multimodal Corridor, officials announced February 24, 2026.
The meeting, focused on bolstering foreign trade, identified a critical need to close logistical gaps and strengthen the export offerings of regions along the corridor, according to a statement released by Mincetur. Participants emphasized the importance of improving the quality and diversification of regional export baskets.
Vice Minister of Foreign Trade Teresa Mera highlighted the strategic importance of the Lambayeque Port Terminal, currently in the planning and programming phase, as a key infrastructure project for the logistical and commercial development of northern Peru. Mera stated that Lambayeque’s location provides crucial integration with both the Amazon region and Brazil, reinforcing its role in the country’s evolving connectivity scheme.
Mincetur officials reiterated the government’s goal of maximizing the benefits of Peru’s 22 trade agreements with 58 markets across four continents for exporters in all regions. The seventh technical table, held May 30, 2025, similarly focused on improving national connectivity and decentralizing foreign trade logistics to increase the competitiveness of Peruvian products internationally.
Progress discussed at the Yurimaguas meeting included the installation of cargo terminals in Sinchicuy and Saramiriza, as well as complementary works on concessioned highways to ensure adequate logistical conditions. The Ministry of Transport and Communications is currently developing regulations for road and river transport, while the Paita outer harbor project is nearing the completion of its final studies and has a structured work plan in place.
Heily Morán Gonzaga, commenting on a LinkedIn post regarding the meeting, emphasized that logistical corridors are not merely infrastructure projects, but drivers of territorial competitiveness. Gonzaga argued that public-private articulation focused on addressing real logistical challenges and diversifying export offerings strengthens both regional economies and the sustainability of Peru’s export model.
Mincetur has not yet announced a date for the twelfth Public-Private Technical Table.
