The new Minister of Foreign Affairs, Javier González Olaechea, This Wednesday, she requested to go to Congress to support the reasons for the new trip that the president is planning. Dina Boluarte to the United States, an exit that would only take place if the plenary session grants mandatory authorization.
This is the first action of the chancellor since he took the oath at the Government Palace, one day after the resignation of Ana Gervasiher predecessor, for the frustrated meeting between Boluarte and the US president, Joe Biden, at the White House.
“According to my first statement after assuming the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs, I ask you to consider […] my attendance at the plenary session tomorrow, which, as I have been informed, will begin at 10:00 am, a session in which the national representation will debate the request for travel authorization from the President to the United States from the 14th to November 18,” reads the document sent to the head of the Legislature, Alejandro Soto.
During those days, according to the text, the president plans to participate in the 30th Summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC), which will be held in San Francisco from November 15 to 17. “It is my wish, before the debate, to be able to address the national representation very briefly, and convey the importance of participation [en este evento]. Once my presentation is completed, I will proceed to leave,” the letter continues.
If the Legislature gives the green light to the presidential trip, it would be the third time that Boluarte visits Washington and the fifth time he leaves the national territory since he assumed the head of state, despite the fact that he does not have an acting vice president.
For this reason, he promoted the approval of a controversial law that allows him to govern remotely while abroad, a rule that has drawn criticism from his detractors, considering it to be unconstitutional.
According to the White House, Biden and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, will meet in APEC, with whom he last met in November of last year during the G20 in Bali (Indonesia). It is the most anticipated and important event of the summit.
Boluarte—recently arrived from Washington—traveled for the first time last August to attend the Amazon Summitafter which he went to the United States in September to participate in the United Nations General Assemblywhile at the beginning of October he visited Germany and Italywhere he met with Pope Francis.
