Abstract

Sub-Saharan Africa is a region that has had 25 years of steady growth, only halted during the pandemic. It is an area of the world in which there is a great international presence and competition among the great powers to make investments of various kinds and expand their hegemony in the rest of the countries to conduct business. Despite the fact that private Peruvian businessmen have been working in the region for two decades, our country has a very limited presence in Sub-Saharan Africa and must expand it through the establishment of another embassy and more concurrences, to be in a better position to protect our compatriots, capture opportunities and promote our national interests.
