on Friday expressed confidence that Parliament will grant him permission to travel to the United States with the aim of participating in the United Nations General Assembly, and he urged that branch to remain respectful of democracy.
Mr. Castillo spoke with some reporters at the Archaeological Site of Quillarumiyoc in Cusco region.
"I expect it (Congress) to do so (grant me permission) because we have a plan; we (will) have meetings with sister countries and businesspeople, even some commitments with ministers that we are going to deliver, such as those of education, trade, among other sectors, because there is an entire delegation; not doing so would be unfortunate," he expressed.
In this sense, the top official specified that he has work and family ties to Peru, adding that he is in the Government "to work for the country."
Likewise, Mr. Castillo affirmed that a Binational Cabinet with Chile is pending, intended not only to boost common border development, but also friendship and brotherhood bonds.
Democracy
Moreover, Mr. Castillo said Congress of the Republic must understand that his administration "has not come (to power) to harm the country" —in response to the possibility of the presentation of a new impeachment motion against him.
"I would opt for us to continue being respectful of democracy, and I expect sanity and maturity from Congress, because the population is above all else," he affirmed.
In this regard, Mr. Castillo called for horizontal spaces to be opened at parliamentary work commissions with each State minister.
