STORYLINE:
Japanese Princess Kako met with Peruvian President Dina Boluarte on Tuesday after laying a wreath at a monument commemorating Japanese immigration during her official visit to Peru to celebrate the 150th anniversary of diplomatic relations between both countries.
Kako, 28, the niece of Emperor Naruhito, arrived at the presidential palace in Lima with the Japanese Ambassador to Peru, Tsuyoshi Yamamoto.
She was received by Boluarte in the golden hall. The two shook hands, bowed to each other, and met privately.
Earlier, she placed a wreath at the "Bridge of Friendship" monument, located in a park in the capital, which commemorates Japanese immigration to Peru.
The princess arrived to Peru on Friday during her second official visit.
Her tour included a visit to the Machu Picchu Inca citadel in the Andes and to a Lima school for deaf schoolchildren, where she spoke briefly in sign language.
Diplomatic relations between Peru and Japan began in 1873 with the signing of a treaty of friendship, trade and navigation.
There are seven Japanese mining companies investing in Peru, mainly in copper and zinc.
Peru is the world's second-largest copper producer, most of which goes to China.
Japan is Peru's fourth largest trading partner after China, the United States and the European Union, according to official data.
