Besides the usual welcoming ceremony accorded by the Peruvian government to YAB PM on his Working Visit to Lima, Peru, the Embassy of Malaysia in Lima has also arranged for Filarmonia Radio Station of Peru to broadcast Malaysian ballads to welcome and celebrate his working visit. The airing of popular Malaysian number and some personal favourites of YAB Prime Minister and Wife was via 102.7FM channel on 18 November 2016 to listeners of Peru nationally.
This program was the final series of radio programmes lined up to introduce and showcase Malaysian musical beats and rhythms to Peruvians. Previous broadcasts were to celebrate Hari Raya Aidil Fitri, National Day and Malaysia Day.
This working visit was indeed significant being the first high level visit from Malaysia to Peru in conjunction with APEC 2016. Feedbacks from Peruvians indicated that they were thrilled to hear the beats of Malaysia while the local staff of the Embassy had a chance to practice Malay language through the lyrics of the ballads.
