Letter of Invitation to attend the 13th Annual Meeting of the Women Leaders’ Network

“SUCCESSFUL WOMEN,  
SUCCESSFUL ECONOMIES”

 

 

Dear delegates from 21 economies of APEC

On behalf of Peru, I would like to welcome you to the 13th Annual Meeting of the Women Leaders’ Network, in Arequipa City – Peru. It will be held from 12 to 14 May 2008 and during this time there also will be an “International Trade Exhibition” and a Business Matching starting 11 May.

The theme of this year’s meeting is “SUCCESSFUL WOMEN, SUCCESSFUL ECONOMIES” and it will address the integration of the global economy where we aim to explore knowledge and tools to advance the sustainable socio-economic business for women entrepreneurs and to help them to incorporate into the formal economic process. On 11 May, the Women in Export Trade Forum will be held, where we will also explore the growing complexity of international trade and identify global trade opportunities and risks, the new global consumers and the opportunities and challenges under the Free Trade Agreements. In addition, on May 9-10 there will be Women in Digital Economy Forum.

I assure you that all the women from different cultures will be able to access the  emerging markets if we work together in APEC.

I would like to invite you to our amazing host city, Arequipa, which is the second largest city in Perú. It is at the foot of the wonderful volcano Misti with beautiful scenery, close to our well-known Cusco and the Modern Wonder of the World, Machu Picchu, which should be a powerful magnet for all of you talented, energetic and successful professionals.
 
We will eagerly wait for your delegation with a warm open heart in this, your, Peru.

Sincerely yours,

SUSANA PINILLA
