In that regard, the Peruvian government official stated that the request to the Congress of the Republic to authorize the trip will be made once an agenda has been structured and the topics of discussion between both countries' authorities are known.
"Let's address this calmly and also in a professional manner, formalizing these matters through the proper channels, which are the foreign ministries (of Peru and the United States)," he said on Wednesday afternoon.
The diplomat also referred to the United States' travel advisory for its citizens visiting Peru and reiterated that it is not a ban, but rather a recommendation due to the security situation.
In this regard, the ambassador reaffirmed that the fight against insecurity is the main priority of President Boluarte's administration. He also called for maintaining social peace so as not to affect tourism.
