Andina news agency celebrates the 40th anniversary of its establishment, aimed at providing a State information platform prepared for journalistic challenges especially at hard times, such as the current one characterized by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The agency was founded on June 12, 1981, under the name of Agencia Peruana de Noticias y Publicidad S.A. (ANDINA) during the second term of former President Fernando Belaunde Terry.
Andina is the result of the merger of State-run ESI-Peru (Agencia Estatal de Noticias Nacionales) and Publi-Peru (Agencia de Publicidad del Estado).
The former company was liquidated in 1994, and since then Agencia Peruana de Noticias Andina (Andina news agency) joined Editora Peru, which also publishes the Official Gazette El Peruano.

This distinction was achieved thanks to the orderly collection of copies of the newspaper, which was founded in 1825.
The Certificate of Incorporation of the Documentary Corpus of the Official Gazette El Peruano comprises the Period: 1826 - First half of 1868.
According to María del Pilar Agapito, a member of the Peruvian institution Memory of the World, El Peruano is the first newspaper to receive this distinction.
She pointed out that this recognition will serve to protect the heritage of the journalistic medium and draw attention to its relevance.
Newspaper editor-in-chief Felix Paz recalled that the process to obtain this qualification had begun in 2019 at the initiative of Nancy Rojas, head of the Documentation Center at Editora Peru, which owns El Peruano and Andina news agency.
