The legislative resolutions authorizing President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski's trips to Colombia and Chile were published in El Peruano official gazette on Friday.

Thus, resolution N° 30732 states the Head of State will travel to Cartagena de Indias on February 26-27 to participate in the 4th Peru-Colombia Binational Cabinet and corresponding Presidential Meeting.

It must be noted both governments have previously held meetings in Iquitos (2014), Medellin (2015), and Arequipa (2017).

To date, these binational cabinets have allowed the signing of 122 cooperation commitments on five axes: governance and social affairs; environmental, mining, and energy issues; trade, economic development, and tourism; security and defense; and border issues.

Likewise, resolution N° 30733 authorizes the Head of State to visit Chile on March 10-11 to attend the presidential inauguration of Sebastian Piñera.

As is known, both trips were approved last Wednesday by Congress.
