US President Donald Trump and heads of state from across the
Western Hemisphere plan to travel to Peru for the Summit of the Americas,
which will celebrate the theme "democratic governance fighting
corruption" from April 13-14.
In his first speech as Peru's foreign minister, Nestor Popolizio
said Peru's decision not to invite Maduro to the event reflects the view of a
dozen countries that have been pressuring Venezuela to hold free and fair
elections.
Maduro has vowed to attend the Summit of the Americas despite
Peru's ban, which the center-right government of former president Pedro Pablo
Kuczynski announced in February.
Kuczynski resigned after a scandal last month and was replaced
by his vice president, Martin Vizcarra. Vizcarra declined to weigh in on
Maduro and the summit last week, saying he would leave it up to the foreign
ministry.
