Within the framework of the 3rd Ministerial Meeting of the initiative, “Pathways to Prosperity in the Americas”, in the Costa Rican city of San Jose, Foreign Minister of Peru, Jose Antonio Garcia Belaunde and his counterpart from the United States, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, held a working meeting to discuss issues of bilateral relations and mutual interest.
Peru's President Alan Garcia has just passed a decree declaring March 1, 2010 as National Mourning Day, as an act of solidarity with the Chilean people suffering the effects of the destructive 8.8 Richter earthquake that rattled that country early this morning.
Public disapproval towards President Alan García of Peru rose to 68%, while the approval dropped to 26%, according to a nationwide survey conducted by Ipsos Apoyo and published in Lima.
The possible presidential candidacy of journalist Jaime Bayly is apparently rising, since a nationwide survey conducted by Compañía de Investigación de Mercado (CPI) for Correo daily shows that 3% of the polled may expressed that they would vote for Bayly.
Alberto Pizango, the Peruvian indigenous leader currently who obtained political asylum in Nicaragua, said that he will soon come back to Peru to face all the legal processes against him.
The A-37B-Dragonfly planes that Korea donated to Peru will be used “in the surveillance of Amazonian borders,” and “in the battle of narcoterrorism in the country,” said Defense Minister Rafael Rey (in the photo).
The candidacy of TV host Jaime Bayly represents the expectations of young people, which is the sector that is taking him to an unexpected sixth place in polls for Peru's 2011 presidential election, said Fernando Tuesta, Director of the Grupo de Opinión Pública of the Universidad Catolica in Lima.
