Peruvian Foreign Affairs Minister Nestor Popolizio will head to Argentina to attend a UN meeting on South-South cooperation and to Chile for a meeting of presidents on South American integration.
His trip was made official through a supreme resolution published Tuesday in El Peruano official gazette.
According to the document, the diplomat will be outside of the Inca country from March 20 to 22.
Popolizio's participation in said event will reaffirm Peru's commitment to South-South and Triangular Cooperation mechanisms as complementary tools towards development, based on foreign policy interests and goals.
"Likewise, his presence will strengthen the regional stance that focuses on topics that are key for Peru, mainly the need of multidimensional methodologies for the measurement of development beyond the scope of GDP per capita, structural gaps, and important challenges to achieve the development goals of upper middle-income countries like Peru," reads the document.
On March 21-22, the Peruvian minister will attend a meeting of presidents on South American Integration in Santiago, at the invitation of the Government of
Chile.
During Popolizio's absence, Economy and Finance Minister Carlos Oliva will take over the Foreign Affairs portfolio.
