Both Presidents discussed over the phone the asylum request made during the weekend by former Peruvian President Alan García.
The procedure on this case will be in charge of both chancelleries, said the statement.
The Uruguayan Foreign Ministry confirmed on Sunday afternoon in a statement that García, 69, who allegedly suffered political persecution in his country, submitted a request for diplomatic asylum at the Uruguayan Embassy in Peru.
Vizcarra promised to send the documents required by Uruguay so that they can take “the best decision” regarding the request of the Peruvian ex-president.
The asylum request changed the way García faced corruption allegations linked to Odebrecht, the aforementioned website said.
