Mexico postpones the Pacific Alliance summit that was to be held in Lima, due to political events in Peru

The Pacific Alliance summit that was scheduled to take place in the city of Lima (Peru) on Wednesday, December 14, was postponed due to the political events that took place on Wednesday the 7th in that country.

This was announced this Wednesday afternoon by Marcelo Ebrard, Secretary of Foreign Relations of Mexico, on his Twitter account.

“Given the latest events in Peru, it has been agreed to postpone the Pacific Alliance summit that would take place on December 14 in the city of Lima. I will keep you informed,” the Mexican official posted.

Ecuador expected this meeting of the presidents of the Pacific Alliance as a chance to confirm its entry into the bloc. Even more so after last week the president of Mexico, Andrés López Obrador, had advanced that important agreements between the member countries were going to be signed at that summit and that Ecuador was going to join the group made up of Chile, Peru, Colombia and Mexico. .

“We are going to be in Lima on December 14 and the purpose of the meeting is to sign Pacific Alliance agreements that are four countries: Chile, Colombia, Peru, Mexico; and Ecuador is going to enter, and it is basically a free trade agreement…”, the president said in his morning conference, on December 2, in Veracruz, Mexico.

López Obrador also indicated that he would hand over the presidency of the bloc to the president of Peru, Pedro Castillo. However, the Peruvian president was removed from office on Wednesday by Congress and later arrested. Hours before, Castillo had announced the dissolution of Congress and declared an emergency government of exception.

The new date and site of the summit have not been revealed so far. (YO)
