10:00 | Lima, Aug. 26.

Peruvian Prime Minister Guido Bellido and State ministers take part in a Congress plenary session to present the Government's general policy and request a vote of confidence.


Afterwards, they continued towards the Parliament headquarters on foot.

In accordance with Article 130 of the Constitution, the President of the Council of Ministers must attend Congress —joined by his Cabinet— to present the Government's general policy and the principal measures pursued by the Executive Branch.


At the event, it was agreed that the Ministerial Cabinet would appear before Congress on August 26 to request the confidence vote from legislators.


Earlier this week, the Prime Minister affirmed that the Cabinet's presentation before Congress would address concrete proposals for the benefit of the country.

"(We are devoting) our full efforts and good will to outline all the initiatives we have for the good of the country on Thursday," he expressed.

The Cabinet chief said he is convinced the country will understand that the Government and President Pedro Castillo are firmly committed to serving more than 33 million Peruvians without causing harm to anyone.
