Peruvian President Ollanta Humala on Sunday congratulated Michelle Bachelet on being elected as President of Chile and wished her success for her second term in office.
In the congratulatory letter, Humala reaffirmed his country's willingness to "work together to strengthen the relations of mutual respect, friendship, integration and cooperation between the two countries."
"All this with the aim of renewing the confidence that allow us to meet the high and noble expectations of Peruvians and Chileans," he added.
