Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz has arrived in Lima, Peru, for the inauguration of Keiko Fujimori, marking a significant moment that echoes a historic meeting between their fathers three decades ago. The presidential aircraft, FAB-001, landed at Peru's main airport, signaling the start of Paz's official visit.

In January 1992, the then-presidents of Bolivia and Peru, Jaime Paz Zamora and Alberto Fujimori, signed a bilateral agreement. Now, 34 years later, their children, Rodrigo Paz and Keiko Fujimori, are set to meet, symbolizing a new chapter in the relationship between the two South American nations.

President Paz's agenda includes a crucial meeting with Fujimori prior to her official swearing-in ceremony. This pre-inauguration discussion is expected to set the tone for future bilateral engagements.

In addition to the meeting with Fujimori, the Bolivian Foreign Ministry has arranged a series of other bilateral meetings for President Paz during his stay. The Bolivian Foreign Minister, who has been in Peru for two days preparing for the visit, confirmed these engagements. The developing story indicates a focus on strengthening diplomatic ties and exploring areas of mutual interest between Bolivia and Peru.
