Peru’s official statement reads: “The unacceptable position taken by Mexico since December 2022 has remained unchanged, despite the Peruvian government’s repeated demands for respect for its sovereignty and the principle of non-intervention in its internal affairs.”
They consider this an “unfriendly” act, in addition to various forms of “unacceptable interference by the Mexican government in Peru.”
