Peru Withdraws Venezuela’s Invitation to Regional Meeting
13, 2018
LIMA, Peru — Peru, the host nation for a summit meeting of leaders in the Western Hemisphere, has withdrawn its invitation
to President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela over his government’s plan to hold an early presidential election.
The move follows a recent announcement by Venezuela’s pro-government election officials to hold a presidential election
on April 22 without reaching an accord with opposition leaders over how to conduct a free and fair vote.
Ms. Aljovín was backed by foreign ministers of the Lima Group, a coalition of 14 mostly conservative governments
in the region formed last year to push for what it considers the restoration of democracy in Venezuela.
