Governor Brian Sandoval, First Lady Kathleen Sandoval and the Nevada delegation continued the South American trade mission, with a series of meetings in Peru. While in the country, Governor Sandoval and members of the delegation met with U.S. Ambassador Brian Nichols, Regional Governor of Cusco, Edwin Licona Licona, and President of Peru Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, to address specific areas of interest and opportunities for future collaborations such as innovation in the mining industry, water technology and commercialization, and academic research partnerships. Sandoval says “Innovation was the center of my conversation with President Kucynski to highlight the areas in which we could partner to enhance the future of our biggest industries. Both Nevada and Peru rely heavily on the mining sector, and I believe Nevada’s use of autonomous systems in mining would be beneficial to Peru as well."
