"Attending the meeting will be the presidents of Mexico and Panama, more than 700 heads of international missions accredited in the country and over 50 finance ministers from around the world," Humala said ahead of the April 23-25 meeting in Lima.
The presidents of the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank will also be in attendance.
The forum was billed by Humala as a "high-level" gathering that puts the Peruvian capital among the main host cities for major events in the world.
"It is a source of pride for all Peruvians," the president said while inspecting construction works of the second section of the Lima Metro's Line 1.

Under the theme “Delivering Growth, Strengthening Societies”, regional and global leaders will discuss the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead to achieve the region’s full potential.
