Peruvian Prime Minister Guido Bellido on Sunday announced that he will hold a round of talks with political groups ahead of the presentation of the Ministerial Cabinet before Parliament.
According to the Cabinet chief, the dialogue series began this morning with a meeting with the Peru Libre (Free Peru) party.
Similarly, the Accion Popular (Popular action) group has been invited to a meeting scheduled for next Tuesday, August 3, at 8 a.m.
"We are going to dialogue with all political forces represented at Congress, those who have already accepted my invitation. Even Admiral Montoya has accepted it, but the date is still not confirmed," he said in remarks to Uno daily.
The government official stated that everyone should show willingness to dialogue, because the country and problems of Peruvians are ahead of everything, adding that differences should not lead to disagreements that keep them away from dialogue.
"Indeed, we have to talk, we have to dialogue. The current democratic mechanism involves listening, reaching agreements aimed at solving the country's problems, and returning to the negotiating table, by supporting one another to solve the country's problems, and we are on that path," he added.
Bellido Ugarte, a Peru Libre party Congressman representing Cusco region, swore in Spanish and Quechua.
