The President of the Republic Dina Boluarte on Friday called on other countries to be respectful of Peru's domestic policies, as she pointed out that relations with other nations cannot become broken.

The Head of State indicated that the Government has been firm in this regard. That is why Peruvian ambassadors to Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, and Colombia have been called back for consultations.

"I believe that no foreign government has to intervene in a country that is not its own. Each nation has the right to build its own history," she said in remarks to Radio Exitosa.

The top official affirmed that diplomatic relations between the Mexican and Peruvian people "are there and won't break off." 

Nonetheless, the Head of State lamented that her Mexican counterpart, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, has engaged in what she described as interference, since he does not recognize her as President of Peru.

The top official also underlined that calling those Peruvian ambassadors back for consultations was not immediate. That is why she had instructed Foreign Affairs Minister Ana Cecilia Gervasi to first seek dialogue with those countries.
