Isabel Guerra
Uruguay hopes to start the talks and negotiations for setting a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with Peru in 2010, which would come into effect from 2011, said Uruguay's Minister of Planning and Budget, Martin Dibarboure.
"Both countries have been approaching recently, and we have already signed a memorandum of understanding to advance on this path towards a trade agreement," he said.
He also added that both nations would negotiate a bilateral FTA under the framework of the Latin American Integration Association (ALADI), which would be an extension of the ECA No. 8, which was signed by the two countries in the 80's.
It is worth noting that Uruguay could not achieve the necessary parliamentary majority to sign an FTA with the US or any other countries.

Peru's Chancellor says that Evo Morales "has no moral authority" to criticize Alan García
LivinginPeru.com
Isabel Guerra
Peru's Foreign Minister Jose Antonio Garcia Belaunde said that Bolivian President Evo Morales has no “moral authority” to criticize the government of Alan García.
Morales had criticized García for having granted asylum to "criminals" wanted by Bolivian and Venezuelan justice.
"Morales has no authority to talk about such things, since he gives shelter and pays wages to a terrorist," said Garcia Belaunde, referring to the case of Walter Chavez, accused of terrorism in Peru because of his ties with the Revolutionary Movement Tupac Amaru (MRTA), and who even became Evo Morales' adviser.
García Belaunde pointed out that the Morales regime rejected (in 2007) a Peruvian request to extradite Chávez, and that Lima accepted the verdict of Bolivian justice.

Oscar Perez Torres, former advisor of Caracas' mayor, Antonio Ledesma, has officially requested political asylum in Peru, since he claims he is the victim of political prosecution in Venezuela.
"He has had to leave his country because he's undergoing a ferocious political prosecution and his family is suffering pressure from the government,” said his lawyer Angel Delgado.
He said that Hugo Chavez's regime started to prosecute him because Perez organized several public demonstrations, the latest one regarding a law that eliminates universities' autonomy.
Perez and Delgado have presented the documents to the Foreign Affairs Ministry, and that Perez is alone in Lima, since his family is staying in Caracas.

Chile finished counter-memorial on maritime dispute with Peru
Andina
The Chilean Foreign Ministry may have finished the counter-memorial over the Peruvian maritime border lawsuit that will present to the International Court of Justice in The Hague; although this draft must be reviewed and is to include the latest remarks, local media reported.
Santiago’s daily La Tercera reported Saturday that the document of the counter-memorial will be revised by Chile’s Deputy Foreign Minister Alberto van Klaveren and international lawyers hired by Chile on September 15 in Paris.
That day, van Klaveren will arrange a meeting with international lawyers Pierre-Maria Dupuy, James Crawford, David Colson and Jan Paulsson.
The goal is to review the draft of the counter-memorial that Chile must present before March 9, 2010.
In March, Peru filed a lawsuit before the International Court of Justice in The Hague to establish a maritime boundary with Chile, saying there is no treaty in this area.
Chile believes the border dispute was settled by treaties in 1952 and 1954, but Peru considers that these treaties were merely fishing accords.

Isabel Guerra
Chilean President Michelle Bachelet and Bolivian President Evo Morales have had a bilateral meeting in Bariloche (Argentina) in an extraordinary session on acoastal access for Bolivia (which is out of the official agenda) during the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) summit.
The Bachelet-Morales parallel meeting was scheduled days after that Peru's President Alan Garcia Perez claimed that La Paz and Santiago should make public an alleged "secret agenda of 13 items" between Chile and Bolivia, which it is supposed to include talks for a Bolivian's outlet to the sea.
However, the 1929 Treaty establishes that Peruvian participation is required before taking any decision about granting Bolivia an outlet to the sea through territories owned by Peru.
UNASUR will focus on the US-Colombia agreement to establish US bases on Colombian territory.

Isabel Guerra
Peru will not include the bilateral negotiations between Chile and Bolivia (for a Bolivian outlet to the sea) in the South American United Nations (UNASUR) Summit's agenda, according to the Chile Ambassador to Peru, Carlos Pareja.
The possibility has also been ruled out by Peru's Chancellor, Jose Antonio García Belaunde, who said to the press that “the trilateral issue does not appear on UNASUR's agenda. I do not think it will have an impact on the summit."
Garcia Belaunde's reaffirmation came after Bolivian President Evo Morales claimed that Peru's dispute with Chile over maritime delimitations is preventing Bolivia from having a sea outlet.
