Born in Huánuco, Joy Way was a member of both the Democratic Constitutional Congress and the Congress of the Republic. He served as the President of the Congress for two non-consecutive terms from 1996 to 1997, and from 1998 to 1999.[1] He was also the Prime Minister of Peru and Minister of Economy and Finance from January 1999 to October 1999.[2] Joy Way was the first Prime Minister of Peru of Chinese Peruvian descent. Under Joy Way's administration, the Peruvian Congress overcame important international conflicts, including the Definitive and Global Peace Agreement between Peru and Ecuador in 1998. This agreement put an end to more than 150 years of conflict on the Amazon's borders. In 1997, Joy Way successfully participated in the hostage rescue process at the Japanese Embassy in Peru. In 2000, he was nominated as the “Entrepreneur of the Century" by the National University of Engineering in coordination with the Peruvian Confederation of Private Enterprises, for his contribution to the development of the Nation.[3]
During his political career, Joy Way has been honored with various recognitions and official awards. In 1997, the President of the People's Republic of China, Jiang Zemin, referred to Joy Way as an “old friend of the Chinese people“ during a visit to Beijing. In 2008, Joy Way received the Grand Maestre of the Republic of Brazil granted by the President of Brazil, followed by the Grand Maestre of the Republic of Bolivia granted by President Evo Morales. He was also honored with the highest decoration of the Congress of the Republic of Peru.
