APEC Peru 2008 Summit Update
Cusco may not host APEC if decides to strike in July
(LIP-do) -- APEC 2008 High-Level Commission Chairman, Vice-Admiral Luis Giampietri, assured today that it would be a pity that Cusco might not host the upcoming Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting if local unions decide to join the strike organized by General Workers Confederation of Peru (CGTP) on July 9th. "It would be a pity that Cusco looses the opportunity to be an APEC venue for a second time. I hope that this strike doesn’t occur", said Giampietri.
He added that the people of Cusco haven’t been asked about the region’s participation in this strike. "I urge the people of Cusco to defend their privileges and image, specially because no one will understand why Peru’s most famous tourist place is not being used as an APEC venue", he detailed. Giampietri added that many tourists visiting Peru due to APEC meetings ask why we are not using Cusco as one of the venues. "I hope people of Cusco understand this and greet with affection the people who come to our country to invest in it", he said.
