Uruguay's Orsi congratulates Peru president-elect Fujimori in cross-party call
Uruguayan President Yamandú Orsi called Peru's president-elect Keiko Fujimori to congratulate her on her runoff victory. The contact between the left-leaning Orsi and the right-leaning Fujimori stood out as a gesture that reached across ideological lines.
According to MercoPress, Orsi praised Fujimori's perseverance during their phone call. The conversation was released by the Office of Peru's President-Elect and took place amid the government transition in the Andean country.
In a region where most governments have shifted to the right, the contact between the left-leaning Orsi and the right-leaning Fujimori drew attention. It was presented as an example of diplomatic courtesy extended despite ideological differences.
The formal handover in Peru is set for July 28. How the incoming administration will position itself in regional relations should become clearer in the weeks ahead.
