Overview
- The government formally approved and activated the multisector strategic plan by Supreme Decree No. 079-2026-PCM, a measure published in the official gazette that launches the National Security and Defence Policy through 2030.
- The decree makes the plan compulsory for all bodies in the National Defence System, including ministries, public agencies, regional and local governments, the National Intelligence Directorate and the National Security and Defence Council.
- The plan’s stated goals are to protect national interests linked to peace and international security, preserve the normal functioning of political, legal and social institutions, and strengthen national security conditions.
- Execution, monitoring and evaluation are assigned to the participating entities under the framework of the National Strategic Planning System (Sinaplan), creating a formal mechanism for interagency planning and follow‑up.
- The decree bears the signatures of President José María Balcázar, Prime Minister Luis Arroyo and key ministers, a move that centralizes civil, security and defence coordination and will shape budgeting, oversight and local government duties through 2030.
