On March 21, the Nicaraguan government published a letter rejecting the Peruvian government’s decision to exclude Venezuela from the 8th Summit of the Americas, scheduled to take place in April, reported teleSUR.
In the letter, addressed to the President of Peru,Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (PPK),
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega insisted that excluding his Venezuelan counterpart, Nicolás Maduro, is an “act contrary to the aims and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace,” signed by heads of state and government of member-nations of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), including Peru.
“Acts like this go against the legal and political basis on which the Summits of the Americas are founded and which seek to ensure equality and respect among member states,” noted the document.
