"From a democratic foreign policy, we will contribute to the understanding of the various political tendencies that exist in Venezuela without intervening in its internal affairs," Bejar stated.

Conservative politicians and former presidents from Peru, Mexico, Bolivia, and Argentina formed the Lima Group, an institution that operates as an instrument of U.S. geopolitics towards Latin America.

In his inaugural address, Bejar also assured that he will work to strengthen cooperation and integration among Latin American countries without making ideological distinctions.

The twitter says, "I had the honor of being received by Peru’s Foreign Affairs Minister Hector Bejar. We address the recovery of our integral relations, trade, policies of attention to migrants, and the need to strengthen Latin America’s union mechanisms".

“Under the international law and the Charter of the United Nations, we support the self-determination of all peoples and condemn any unilateral sanctions," Bejar stated regarding U.S. blockades against Cuba and Venezuela.

On Tuesday, he also announced that Peru will return to the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) and strengthen the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and the Andean Community of Nations (CAN).

"Latin America is the geographical and sociological priority of the Peruvian foreign policy. It is our territorial, economic, and sociocultural environment. It is the space of our history," Bejar stressed.
