Peruvian Foreign Affairs Minister Nestor Popolizio on Monday affirmed the Lima Group will continue undertaking efforts to sustain the international pressure on
Nicolas Maduro's dictatorial regime, adding democratic elections in Venezuela is an inevitable process.
Likewise, Minister Popolizio stressed the need for an international community's financial assistance to tackle the impact of Venezuela's humanitarian crisis on the region.
Furthermore, he pointed out over three million
Venezuelan citizens have been forced to flee their country and take refuge in other nations.
"A humanitarian channel is urgently needed to aid the Venezuelan people," the official added.
The Peruvian representative hopes to find a path forward to
restore democracy. Plus, he urged all countries that have not joined the cause to do so as soon as possible.
