LIMA, Dec 18 (NNN-ANDINA) - Peru would close Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations with the European Union, South Korea and Japan next year, said Foreign Minister Jose Antonio Garcia Belaunde.

He said that Peru expects to finish in the first quarter of next year the FTA negotiations with the European Union, which is an association agreement.

“The other pending negotiations are with Japan and South Korea, so I think for the next year we can have three new free trade agreements --- the EU, Japan and South Korea”. -- NNN-ANDINA
