The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Thursday that it has summoned Peru's ambassadors to Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, and Mexico for consultations in Lima.

The measure was taken in response to interference in internal affairs in Peru by top officials in the aforementioned countries, whose statements question the presidential succession implemented in strict adherence to the Constitution of Peru.

Moreover, the document highlights that said statements are not consistent with the traditional ties of friendship, cooperation, and mutual respect that bind Peru with these countries.
 
Peru will continue to show its broad willingness to deepen dialogue, always within the framework of mutual respect and the full validity of international law.

The government agency stated that there is full respect for human rights, due process and the separation of powers in Peru, which guarantees access to independent justice for all citizens.
