President Javier Milei held a bilateral meeting with Peru's newly inaugurated president, Keiko Fujimori, in Lima on Tuesday, as part of his efforts to strengthen ties with like-minded conservative governments across Latin America. The meeting took place shortly before Fujimori's inauguration at Peru's Congress and underscored Milei's drive to consolidate a right-wing regional bloc while adding another ideological ally to Argentina's list of international partners. Milei was accompanied by Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno and Presidential Chief-of-Staff Karina Milei. Fujimori will govern until 2031 after narrowly defeating left-wing candidate Roberto Sánchez in Peru's presidential run-off, inheriting a country that has endured years of political turmoil and seen eight presidents take office over the past decade. The cordial meeting in Lima contrasted sharply with the diplomatic tensions Milei left behind following his visit to Brazil.
