The European Union on Thursday congratulated the new President of Peru, Dina Boluarte, and reiterated its support to restore dialogue following the removal and arrest of Pedro Castillo.

"The EU congratulates the new President Dina Boluarte, and reiterates its support to all efforts aimed at restoring dialogue and strengthening the rule of law and democratic institutions in Peru," said Peter Stano, Lead Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the EU European Commission.

According to the European Commission spokesperson, the European Union welcomes the peaceful and democratic way in which Peru dealt with the recent domestic political developments. 

"The EU recalls that full respect of the Constitution, democratic principles and separation of powers, in a spirit of constructive institutional dialogue and cooperation, is crucial for the country to restore political stability and to respond to the needs and aspirations of Peruvian citizens," he said in a statement issued on Thursday.

Moreover, Stano remarked that the EU looks forward to continuing the reinforcement of its good relations with Peru, and working with its authorities in areas where we have shared visions and common interests for the benefit of citizens on both sides.
