The ‘BAP Union’ is a symbolic vessel of the Peruvian Navy, primarily used for training naval cadets who will become naval officers, and it also serves as Peru’s mobile embassy.

Currently on a global voyage, it plans to visit major ports of Peru’s partner and friendly countries over a period of 10 months.

This visit is part of the ‘BAP Union’s global voyage and was made to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Korea-Peru diplomatic relations (established on April 1, 1963).

The visit of the ‘BAP Union’ to Korea is expected to further strengthen the friendly cooperative relationship between the two countries.

In particular, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Korea-Peru diplomatic relations, the ‘BAP Union’ will hold an open ship event daily from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. from the 10th to the 13th.

According to the Embassy of Peru in Korea, any Busan citizen can participate in the event and view the facilities and exhibitions of the ‘BAP Union’ free of charge.

The main programs include visiting the mobile museum ‘Casa Per?,’ which provides various information about Peruvian traditions and culture inside the ship, as well as experiencing Peruvian food culture.

The ‘BAP Union’ is scheduled to pass through the Gwangalli area on the 9th around 8 p.m. to 9 p.m., coinciding with the ‘Gwangalli M Drone Light Show,’ to dock at the Busan International Cruise Terminal.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun said, “The Latin American region has maintained a friendly relationship with the Republic of Korea for a long time, and Peru is one of the core countries in this region. We welcome the docking of Peru’s naval training ship ‘BAP Union’ in Busan, and we hope that this visit will further strengthen the friendly relations between Korea and Peru, as well as between Busan and Peru.”
