US Vice President's Comment to Boluarte Viewed as Official Invitation to Washington

Peruvian Foreign Minister Schialer has confirmed that the Peruvian government considers a comment made by the US Vice President to President Dina Boluarte as an official invitation for a visit to Washington. The statement was made during a press conference following a meeting between Schialer and the US Vice President in Rome. "¿Por qué no nos visita en Washington?" (Why don't you visit us in Washington?), the Vice President reportedly said to Boluarte. Schialler elaborated, stating that while it wasn't a formal invitation, the government viewed the comment as a positive overture and an opportunity to strengthen bilateral ties. The Peruvian government is now working to formalize the visit, coordinating with the US State Department to set a date and agenda. This visit signifies a potential strengthening of diplomatic relations between Peru and the United States, especially given the recent political climate in Peru.
