📋 Tender Overview
To encourage investment and promote sustainable and responsible mining practices that respect the environment and community rights. The Minister of Energy and Mines, Romulo Mucho, led the launching ceremony of the National Multisectoral Mining Policy to 2050 (PNMM 2050) that seeks to promote an equitable development of this industry, encouraging investment and promoting sustainable and responsible mining practices.
During the event, which was attended by representatives of the mining, political and diplomatic environment of the country, the minister explained that the PNMM 2050 has a comprehensive and transversal approach that will articulate actions of various entities around common objectives to face complex social, economic and environmental challenges, which requires the collaboration of ministries, public agencies and the private sector.
We work together with all the ministries because only in this way will we understand our weaknesses, challenges, opportunities and challenges. Therefore, today the scheme changes to have a sustainable, responsible and competitive mining industry, emphasized the head of the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM).
He noted that we must all actively participate in this process because the challenges we face require closer cooperation. This effort must transcend and we must think about how to ensure that mining is a driver of development and leave a legacy of responsible progress to those who come after us, he said.
In turn, the Vice Minister of Mines, Henry Luna, said that, with the impetus of this administration, work is being done intensively on the process of formulating the PNMM 2050, with the aim of transforming this key sector for the future of Peru.
He added that, currently, work is being done on the implementation of the Digital Single Window (VUD), through which the mining owner is provided with the route and the processes that he has to carry out to start his activities, from the request for a mining concession to the permit for the exploitation activity.
Meanwhile, Antonio Mendoza, head of the Cabinet of Advisors of the MINEM, when presenting the PNMM 2050, pointed out that we are taking an important multi-sectoral step to enhance and improve the indicators that generate resources to generate more employment and opportunities for all Peruvians.
PNMM 2050 is much more than a paper document, Mendoza emphasized, as it is a State policy with a long-term vision that seeks to identify and solve a public problem of national priority related to the sustainability and competitiveness of mining activities in order to implement a management mechanism for this problem.
It should be noted that PNMM 2050 will require the effort and commitment of all sectors participating in the Multisectoral Working Group, which under the presidency of MINEM is made up of the ministries of Economy and Finance; Housing, Construction and Sanitation; Culture; Environment; Health; Interior; Transportation and Communications, and the Presidency of the Council of Ministers.
Gustavo De Vinatea, president of the Institute of Mining Engineers of Peru; Marina Yrigoyen, member of the Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue Committee, Mario Huapaya, representative of the Inter-American Development Bank and the ambassador of Finland in Peru, Antti Rytovuori, among other personalities from the political and diplomatic environment of the country, participated in this ceremony.
