The President of the Republic Pedro Castillo on Tuesday affirmed that, during the meeting with the High-Level Group of the Organization of American States (OAS) held yesterday, the Executive Branch Expressed its full willingness to dialogue with all Peruvian institutions.


"We told them that we are willing to move the country forward, joined by the rest of institutions, and that the balance of powers must be maintained. Within this framework, willing to talk, we have left on the table our full willingness to talk with all authorities," he expressed.


Similarly, Mr. Castillo specified that some people do not think well of the presence of the OAS mission in Peru, since critics claimed that its members "have nothing to do here." However, this idea is wrong because our country "cannot be an island."

"Just as Peru has major needs, has problems to solve and faces huge gaps, we know that the enemies of countries are poverty, major inequalities, and the lack of opportunities," he specified.

Concerning the relationship with Congress, he said the Executive Branch never set any trap, and that it has always expressed the will to continue with dialogue so as to move the country forward.

Pacific alliance

On the other hand, President Castillo sent greetings to Mexican counterpart Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who had recently mentioned the possibility that the ceremony for the handing over of the Pacific Alliance Pro-Tempore Presidency might take place in Peru, given the refusal by Peruvian Congress to grant travel permission to the Head of State.

Remarks were made during Mr. Castillo's visit to the Venegas Herrera family, whose home was affected by a fire in Lima's peripheral Villa Maria del Triunfo district.
