Rapprochement and coordination between Peru's Executive and Legislative branches will contribute to a better relation during President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski's second year in office, Prime Minister Fernando Zavala affirmed Monday.
"We have discussed priorities for the coming year which have to do with economic reactivation, social issues and topics addressed by Congress," the government official informed.
"It was a highly productive meeting that hints at a second year that will be a lot better than the first concerning this [Executive-Legislative] relation, which is so important for everybody,"
Zavala underlined.
In this sense, he explained both government branches are seeking to establish joint work mechanisms as the second year in office begins.
"We agreed that we can move forward faster for the benefit of Peruvian citizens by working hand in hand," he concluded.
On the other hand, Congress head Luis Galarreta added the meeting dealt with outstanding projects to be addressed by corresponding commissions.
"The relevance of this dialogue lies in the fact that we have started a work formula of ongoing coordination, as should be the case between two [government] powers […]," Galarreta pointed out.
