Peru: European Union to observe 2020 extraordinary parliamentary elections

15:18 | Lima, Dec. 9.

Peruvian Foreign Affairs Minister Gustavo Meza-Cuadra on Monday signed with European Union (EU) Ambassador to Peru Diego Mellado the Administrative Agreement on the deployment of an Electoral Observation Mission for the Extraordinary Parliamentary Elections of January 26, 2020.

The document establishes the guarantees and facilities necessary for the work of the EUEOM in the South American country throughout the electoral process.

A specific agreement will be signed between the EU delegation and the National Election Board (JNE) for the procedural aspects of electoral observation.

The EU accepted this invitation, which was issued by the Foreign Affairs Ministry after an exploratory visit paid to Lima last October.
