In the dynamic landscape of global diplomacy, cultivating strategic partnerships requires foresight, institutional leadership, and a deep appreciation for emerging international trends. Today, we are honored to present an exclusive interview with His Excellency Elmer José Gonzalo Schialer Salcedo, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Peru. With a distinguished diplomatic career spanning nearly four decades, Minister Schialer brings to his office extensive experience in bilateral and multilateral affairs, having served in key posts across Europe, Latin America, and the United States. Prior to his appointment as Minister in September 2024, he held the position of Secretary General of the Ministry—where he played a central role in shaping Peru’s foreign policy agenda.
Under his leadership, Peru has deepened its engagement with the Gulf region, particularly with the United Arab Emirates, a country that has emerged as a critical partner in areas such as trade, food security, investment, logistics, and innovation. In this conversation, Minister Schialer offers thoughtful reflections on the strategic importance of opening the Embassy of Peru in Abu Dhabi, the growing areas of cooperation between both nations, and the institutional efforts underway to facilitate investment and long-term economic collaboration.
With a focus on sustainability, legal stability, and regional complementarity, Minister Schialer shares his vision for Peru’s evolving role as a gateway to Latin America, while recognizing the UAE as a vital global node in diplomacy and development. This interview offers a comprehensive look at how two diverse yet complementary nations are building a forward-looking and mutually beneficial partnership in an increasingly interconnected world.
