Peru President meets with U.S. State Secretary

16:23 | Lima, Apr. 13.

Peru's President Martin Vizcarra on Saturday afternoon met with United States Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo in the nation's capital city of Lima.

Peruvian Foreign Affairs Minister Nestor Popolizio also attended the meeting, which took place at the Government Palace's Golden Hall.

Secretary Pompeo's visit served to address affairs linked to the bilateral agenda, including the promotion of economic-commercial relations, as well as cooperation in the fight against drug-trafficking and illegal mining.

In addition, both authorities discussed the political and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela.

The U.S. high-ranking official also congratulated Peru for its leadership in the fight against corruption.

The chief of U.S. diplomacy arrived in Lima on Saturday. Previously, he visited Chile and Paraguay. His next stop will be in Cucuta (Colombia).

In this sense, the United States remains a steady and enduring partner in the Hemisphere and works with regional allies to advance prosperity, security, and freedom.
