a proposal aimed at modifying the criteria for granting diplomatic asylum, in order to correct what he described as a "deviation in the application of the 1954 Caracas Convention."
In statements to a local media outlet, the diplomat explained that the Peruvian initiative proposes making it mandatory for the country evaluating an asylum petition to first obtain the relevant information from the requested State before making a decision.
The government official emphasized that the goal is to ensure that decisions in this matter are not influenced by "ideological considerations."
In this regard, he dismissed the possibility of any incursion into the Mexican Embassy located in Lima.
Border security
When asked about the declaration of a state of emergency at the borders, the minister indicated that "most of the borders are being neglected; therefore, a policy of engagement is needed."
The minister indicated that, despite being a transitional government, the objective is to advance the improvement of border security. Thus, "it is necessary to declare the emergency."
The diplomat clarified that the measure, whose duration has not yet been determined and will be discussed in the Council of Ministers, is intended to serve as a temporary tool.
He added that the goal is to pave the way so that the next government, which will take office in July 2026, finds a clear path in terms of border security.
