In a plenary session on Thursday, Congress authorized the
Peruvian President Pedro Castillo to travel abroad
in order to attend the Ninth Summit of the Americas.
The draft legislative resolution was approved with 103 votes in favor, 2 against, and 1 abstention.
Thus, the Head of State is allowed to travel outside the country from June 7 to 12, 2022.
The Summit of the Americas will take place in Los Angeles, California (U.S.) between June 6 and 10.
The official letter states that President Castillo will also participate in other Summit-related meetings on June 8, 9, and 11.
The letter stated that the convening of the region's leaders underscores what binds countries together —their commitment to economic prosperity, security, human rights, and dignity for the people of the Western Hemisphere.
"Together, in Los Angeles, we will tackle both our greatest challenges and opportunities, including with respect to climate change, health security, and equitable growth and recovery," the U.S. leader said in the document.
