The document was signed by the director general of America and Europe of the ministry of foreign affairs, Retno L Marsudi, and Quesada Inchaustequie, the vice foreign affairs minister for Asian, Pacific, African and Middle Eastern Affairs, at the Indonesian embassy in Lima.
"The agreement will be the umbrella for various other bilateral cooperation agreements in the economic and technical fields," Istadi said.

The signing of the agreement was one of the results of the bilateral talks between the Indonesian and Peruvian delegations.
Indonesia and Peru marked their 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations this year. "In the framework of the commemoration, Indonesia has held traditional batik and woven cloth exhibitions in Lima last April 8," he said.
Istadi said the two countries had long built trade cooperation. The two countries' delegations hailed the growth in trade between the two countries so far.
