Isabel Guerra
Chilean Foreign Affairs Minister Mariano Fernandez released his government's official government version on the document submitted by Peru claiming espionage activities.
According to the Peruvian report, the names mentioned in the aforementioned document would correspond to members of the Chilean Armed Forces who would allegedly have financed the espionage operations.
However, Fernandez said that “these names do not correspond to any Chilean citizens, so we have nothing to comment on this matter."
He also remarked that the government will respond to the espionage charges, “in due time," and remarked that the document delivered by Peru has only 300 pages, and not 2,000 as the press had reported.

Isabel Guerra
Peru will give Chile the proof sustaining Peruvian's claim of espionage, reports the daily local press: the Peruvian chancellor said the documents will be sent to Interpol.
On the hand, the Defense Minister will go to Congress at 3:30p.m.
"Chile has to understand that a country that has been spied needs to open an investigation," said the Chancellor Jose Antonio Garcia Belaunde.
Garcia Belaunde thinks there is enough relevant information to prove the participation of the Chilean military on this espionage case against Peru.
"We are going to send, via diplomatic channels, all the information on the espionage of Victor Ariza," the Chancellor pointed out.
"It is confirmed that Ariza had contact with two persons, one of them a Chilean military man," added Garcia Belaunde.
The Chancellor said the same information will be sent to Santiago and Interpol to certify the authenticity of the investigations.

Chilean Senators claim that Peru is “is seeking to damage Chile's international image”

Isabel Guerra
Two members of Chile's Commission on Foreign Affairs reportedly said that Peru “is seeking to damage Chile's international image” by describing the country as "militaristic and aggressive."
According to Chilean lawmakers, Peruvian reporting on the recent espionage case “is intended to affect the country's international image.”
"It's a concerted communication strategy in Peru to create the feeling that Chile is an aggressor," said Senator Jorge Pizarro, president of the Foreign Relations Committee in the Senate.
He claims that this would be part of the Peruvian strategy to support their position about maritime boundaries in the Hague Court.
To Pizarro, "the real reason why Peru is upset about this is because of the authorization to acquire military hardware from the United States to Chile."
"It's time to leave the role of mere observers and to act in a coordinated manner against this communication strategy," said Senator Sergio Romero, another member of that committee.

The President of Peru's Ministers Council, Javier Velásquez Quesquén, reported that the government agreed to withdraw its petition of dissolution of the Interethnic Association for Development of the Peruvian Rainforest (AIDESEP), aiming to ease the way for the dialogue tables.

Regarding this, Velasquez Quesquen handed the official document in to the Agriculture's Minister, Adolfo de Cordova.
The document instructs the ad hoc prosecutor for Amazonian cases to withdraw any request of dissolution of AIDESEP.
"We hope that this will help the dialogue tables to work without problems, and that the conclusions can be ready by December,” said Velasquez Quesquén.
