The Government of Peru —through its Foreign Affairs Ministry— on Thursday welcomed the appointment of Carlos Scull as Venezuela's diplomatic representative to Peru made by its
Interim President Juan Guaido.
"We welcome the appointment of Carlos Scull as Venezuela's diplomatic representative to Peru made by its Interim President Juan Guaido," the Andean nation's Foreign Affairs Ministry noted via Twitter.
"I thank the President for appointing me as the diplomatic representative to Peru. A responsibility that I take staying committed to
democracy, cessation of usurpation, transitional government, and free elections in Venezuela," Scull said in a Tweet.
"In the same vein, I promise to work with and for the more than 700,000
Venezuelans (in Peru) who had to leave their country, so that we can reunite with our families there," he added.
Henceforth, the Venezuelan Government —led by Guaido— will have diplomatic representations in Argentina, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, the United States, Honduras, Panama, and Peru, as well as the
Lima Group —a bloc formed by several of these nations, which refuses to recognize
Nicolas Maduro.
