Peruvian Prime Minister Alberto Otarola described the meetings held on May 29-30 in Brazil, within the framework of the Presidential Summit of South American Countries, as auspicious.
"We are absolutely sure that these meetings will promote a second phase of the country’s positioning and leadership that we have always had in South America," Otarola said in statements to Canal N.
Likewise, he highlighted the meeting held with Presidents Gabriel Boric (Chile), Guillermo Lasso (Ecuador), and Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (Brazil).
Furthermore, the Peruvian government official stated that the meeting with Boric addressed the common agenda, trade, and investments.
