10:07 | Lima, Aug. 29.

Peruvian Foreign Affairs Minister Nestor Popolizio will temporarily take over the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (PCM) after Salvador del Solar requested a brief leave from his position as Prime Minister.

The leave of absence —from August 29 to September 1— was granted pursuant to a supreme resolution, published Thursday in El Peruano official gazette.

Foreign Affairs Minister Nestor Popolizio will thus perform the duties of the Cabinet Chief during this temporary absence.
