U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman on Tuesday spoke with Peruvian Foreign Affairs Minister Cesar Landa about shared democratic values, as well as opposition to Russia's premeditated, unprovoked, and unjustified invasion of Ukraine, U.S. State Department Spokesperson Ned Price has reported.

In addition to discussing opportunities to further strengthen Peru-U.S. relations, Deputy Secretary Sherman commended the Peruvian Government for its leadership in condemning Russia's actions, including its support of the February 25 Organization of American States' (OAS) joint declaration on Russia's aggression.

Furthermore, both officials discussed how Russia's violation of international law, as well as of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine, undermines global stability and contradicts the values that bind our hemisphere.

The Deputy Secretary also congratulated the Foreign Affairs Minister on Peru's designation as the host of APEC 2024 and welcomed the OECD council's approval to open accession discussions for Peru.

Peru Foreign Minister @CesarLanda0 and I discussed our close relationship, shared democratic values, and support for Ukraine’s freedom. We applaud Peru’s defense of international law, as stated in the @OAS_official joint declaration on Russia’s aggression. https://t.co/pT9iHH48hc
