Lima, Sep. 07 (ANDINA). British Ambassador to Peru James Dauris on Wednesday praised the agreement reached between the Peruvian Government and the mining sector to impose a new tax on companies as it will help to meet the social objectives in Peru.
After highlighting the significant number of investments from British mining companies in Peru, the diplomat welcomed the willingness of the mining sector to support the government with the new tax, as it will enable to carry out social and infrastructure works in the country.
“The first impression we got from the agreement between the mining sector and the Peruvian government shows that mining companies will support the objectives set by the government,” Dauris told Andina news agency.
Moreover, the UK ambassador praised the work carried out by the Peruvian government to keep the nation as an attractive and profitable country for the mining industry.
