NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER 2020 Six months after our long-awaited event, we hope that you are in good health as are your closest collaborators. Below we are sending you relevant information about the environment of Peru and the progress to date. CURRENT ECONOMIC SITUATION After an analysis of the Peruvian economy, the year 2021 is projected to be very favorable for Peru. The South American country would grow around 4.4% next year and it is estimated that in early 2021 the first positive growth rates would be reached since the pandemic, this was assured by the Minister of Economy María Antonieta Alva, “We are working to deliver to the next government, in July 2021, a balanced budget that will have fiscal consolidation as its greatest challenge, after a historic economic stimulus was launched to soften the effects of the pandemic. The economy is already in a process of rapid recovery ", (https://andina.pe/agencia/noticia- economia-peruana-creceria-44-el-periodo-20202023-proyecta-mef-764250.aspx). She also indicated that economic reactivation will go hand in hand with modernization and technological implementation in the different Sectors. INVESTMENTS IN THE ARMED FORCES The Peruvian government once again reported that it will invest in improving the infrastructure and logistics of the Army, as well as instruction and training, within the development of the work of military personnel in the coming years. Thus, the large Kuntur and Sipán projects would be the first to be executed. The following link shows the investments that the Army of Peru will make. http://www.ejercito.mil.pe/index.php/transparencia-ejercito-peru/proyecto-de-inversion- publica/1006-listado-de-obras-de-la-direccion-de-inversiones-del-ejercito. Peru has a budget equivalent to US$2,560 million for 2021, for the Security and Defense Sector, despite the many investments it has made in its fight against Covid-19. The Armed Forces of Peru are currently supporting the social work of the Government, but they keep their sights set on the acquisition and enhancement of their material and equipment in order to modernize their technology for security and defense. The Industrial Service of the Navy (SIMA) delivered to the Peruvian Navy service boats for personnel transport, logistical support and for the transport of food, ammunition and other materials for the units that are anchored in the outer roads of the Callao Naval Base and will additionally serve to project services to the San Lorenzo Naval Station. The Navy continues to invest in its modernization. It carried out the launching of the Río Tumbes and Río Locumba Patrol boats, in the SIMA-Chimbote shipyards, as part of the Investment Project called "Recovery of the Capacity to Carry Out Surface Coast Guard Operations in the National Maritime Domain and Coast Guard Search Operations "It is known that the Peruvian Navy has ambitious plans that even include the acquisition of submarines. They already have the budgets, the authorizations, and the projects are being prepared for these purposes. For its part, the Air Force continues to improve, maintain and modernize its aircraft in order to recover its optimum operating level. SITDEF 2021 RELEVANTS The VIII INTERNATIONAL SALON OF TECHNOLOGY FOR THE DEFENSE AND PREVENTION OF DISASTERS - SITDEF PERÚ 2021, continues to establish itself as one of the main exhibition halls in the Region and that, thanks to the support and permanent promotion of the Ministry of Defense. Peru is going to celebrate the bicentennial of its independence and we will be part of that joy from May 13 to 16, 2021. CONJUNCTURE Peru is preparing to celebrate the BICENTENNIAL OF ITS INDEPENDENCE and the entire year 2021 will be a great national holiday in which SITDEF will be part of these celebrations. In this sense, in its Eighth Version, SITDEF PERÚ 2021 will seek to be the best since its creation, implementing new roles of face-to-face and virtual conferences, with the participation of new and larger Official Delegations, encouraging the presence of new companies related to Prevention of Disasters, Cyber Systems, Epidemiology, Rapid Interventions and adopting very responsibly the bio-security protocols. This is in addition to the participation of the multiple security and defense companies that are always very well received in the Region in terms of technological commercialization. VISITORS Once again, SITDEF PERÚ will receive the highest authorities in the country and will be inaugurated by the President of the Republic. It will be attended by guests from the region, special national and international delegations, as well as the permanent visit of the logistical commands of the Armed Institutes. The National Police of Peru, together with its high authorities, will be an important part of this event, with physical presence in the exhibition pavilions. PROGRESS TO DATE Six months before SITDEF PERÚ, we inform you that the Foreign Ministry of the Republic headed by the Minister of Foreign Relations, Ambassador Mario López Chávarri, will be sending the corresponding diplomatic invitation to our embassies abroad in order to exceed the expected results. In turn, the Minister of Defense, General Jorge Chávez, is leading the international promotion of the event from his portfolio. IV CYBER SECURITY EDITION The Joint Command of the Armed Forces of Peru will be in charge of the 4th.

In order for this to happen, Peruvian defence expenditure registered a growth rate of 39.5%, increasing from 5.4 billion Peruvian Sol -PEN- (approximately 1.6 billion US dollars) in 2011 to 7.5 billion PEN (approximately 2.2 billion US dollars) in 2015. The ongoing modernisation program, as well as the need of Peru to tackle the drug trafficking, illegal logging and illegal mining and the country’s aspiration to participate in international peace keeping operations is expected to determine the defence budget in the years to come.

    Ibero-Americana, Nordic Journal of Latin American Studies Vol. XII: 1-2, 1983, pp. 51-114 THE ROLE OF MILITARY EXPENDITURE IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. PERU: A CASE STUDY, 1950-1980* by Jose A. Encinas del Pando The area of knowledge consisting of national decisions as they affect both econ­ omic development and the military sector, including the allocation of resources to them has not really been probed in Peru. Except for a United Nations sponsored study 1, which deals with the issue on an overall South-American basis, there is a dearth of studies in this particular field. From a military point of view, the period 1920-1950 covered two outstanding developments. First, the Armed Forces underwent their first modernization in the XX Century, a process that was considered indispensable, given the pending borlier settle­ ments with Peru's neighbors and the continuing Chilean occupation of Peruvian territory2. This was brought about by the purchase of new military weapons; by send­ ing Peruvian military officers to study abroad, mainly in Europe and the United States; and by contracting the services of Military Missions to Peru, such as the USA for the Navy and Air Force and France for Army. (The French Military Mission in fact predates this period. It came in 1896). • This Study has been done by a team lead by Jose A. Encinas del Pando, Professor of the University of Lima, and integrated by Janet Herrick, Ricardo Padilla, and Maria Teresa Palomino, with Ana Mayta as typist. 1 Jose A.

The first one is the relation between political ideology and the purchase of defense armaments, while the other is the opening of markets, which has occurred in South America in the last few years. The significant changes in the economy and politics of the subcontinent, which started in the end of the last century and continued until the first decades of the present one, brought about deep impacts, not only in the political environment, but also in what concerns the purchase of defense equipment. Political changes in key countries such as Venezuela, Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil and the growth of economies with the commodities’ boom have propelled the acquisition of defense material, at the same as opening markets for new sellers. Russia, as a descendent of the Soviet Union, has maintained its restricted buyers and, with the end of the Cold War, started to broaden its market by selling equipment that was vetoed by the North-American policy, such as the BVR Vympel R-77 missiles and the MANPAD Igla missiles type. Other important suppliers of defense material also have further en- tered in the South-American market. Certainly, the most important ones are China and South Korea. The former uses its economic and political power of negotiation, acquired in the period of strong economic growth and enhance- ment of trade relations, to enter in both Russian and other countries’ markets.
