Hernando obtained a law degree at the Catholic University in Peru, and went on to study at the Diplomatic Academy in Lima where he received a degree in International Relations and the category of Third Secretary of Chancery, the first step in his diplomatic career. After that he received a scholarship to the Diplomatic School in Madrid, where the Spanish King granted him a second recognition in International Relations.

Hernando spent many years in different diplomatic posts in three Peruvian embassies and one consulate in Europe: Finland, Sweden, Italy (Consul in Milan) and France. In Paris he had the chance to work very closely with Peruvian Ambassador Javier Perez de Cuellar, former United Nations General Secretary. His last post was Colombia, where he spent five years as minister counselor.
THE PACIFIC ALLIANCE
The Pacific Alliance, founded in 2011 by the presidents of Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, became one of the most interesting and successful mechanisms of integration in Latin America. Predominantly economic and commercial in nature, the four mentioned countries have focused on creating an area of deep-seated integration that fosters greater growth, development and competitiveness, in order to achieve free movement of goods, services, capital and people. Taken as a block, the Pacific Alliance is the world’s eight-largest economy with a population of 217 million inhabitants and an average annual growth rate of 2.5 percent.
Luncheon will be served. This will be a small group to allow for questions and discussion.
