Duta Besar Malaysia telah mengadakan jamuan makan malam pertamanya dengan rakan-rakan sejawatan ASEAN dan pegawai-pegawai kanan Jabatan Protokol, Kementerian Luar Negeri, Republik Peru pada malam Jumaat lalu, 23hb September 2011, di Hotel Westin.

Semasa jamuan makan malam tersebut, terdapat banyak pandangan di kalangan Duta-Duta Besar ASEAN bahawa usaha untuk mengadakan lebih pertemuan seumpama ini dan ianya tidak hanya di kalangan Duta-Duta Besar ASEAN tetapi ianya harus menjangkaui Duta-Duta Besar dari negara-negara rakan dialog ASEAN plus 3, iaitu, China, Jepun dan Korea.
Mengambil kesempatan dengan kehadiran tukang masak eksekutif Malaysia di hotel tersebut, TYT Duta Ayauf Bachi telah menjamu tetamu-tetamunya dengan masakan Malaysia yang pelbagai dan jarang ditemui di Lima, Peru.
