Trump
U.S. President Trump last Sunday invited his Peruvian counterpart for an official visit to his country, in order to deepen bilateral relations, Peru's Foreign Affairs Ministry reported.
The invitation was made during a phone call, in which the U.S. Commander-in-Chief said he hopes to hold a meeting with Mr. Kuczynski.
Likewise, both leaders exchanged views on the status of bilateral relations and the wide range of possibilities to deepen them on the bases of the defense of democratic principles and fight against corruption.
Subjects discussed also included strengthening economic growth, the humanitarian situation in Venezuela, as well as the promotion of democratic governance in the region.
