What will be the official name of Peru in 2023?

One tradition in our country to welcome the new year is the choice of its official name. It is a political decision that dates back to 1962, and aims to recognize and promote the social agenda that is intended to prioritize for the coming year.

The year 2022 has already ended and was designated by former president Pedro Castillo as the "Year of Strengthening National Sovereignty", which, as our regulations state, was present in all official documents of the State.

Next, we answer all your questions about the new designation for the year 2023: who is in charge of choosing it, the date of its announcement, and the importance of this choice.

Through a supreme decree signed as head of state along with the prime minister, it established the "Year of unity, peace, and development" as the official name for the year 2023. The nomenclature must be used by state institutions as well as the general population.

The choice must respond to and address the most important events and developments that have occurred in our country, although it can also be aligned with the principles of the current government's political agenda. Suggestions and ideas given by ministries or public entities may be included.

In addition to promoting the country's agenda and social activity, choosing a name for each upcoming year allows the State and the citizens to keep political decisions aligned with the goals set at the beginning of the year. This designation is included in all official documents of the state apparatus.
