Foreign Minister Aramayo highlighted that Bolivia seeks to revitalize its relationship with Peru, addressing a wide range of issues that were not previously tackled by prior administrations. Diplomatic ties had been strained following the ousting and arrest of former Peruvian President Pedro Castillo, leading to a suspension of dialogue under Luis Arce's government. The current administration aims to re-establish a robust political dialogue.

We have many compatriots in Peru, the trade agenda is unavoidable; now with my other hat as Minister of Tourism, I find the folklore agenda fundamental; we have pending issues with Peru before UNESCO; without a doubt, we are interested in Ilo, it is a space that we have to recover.

— Fernando AramayoThe minister detailed the broad agenda of topics to be discussed with Peru.

Aramayo emphasized the importance of addressing several key areas, including the significant Bolivian community residing in Peru, trade relations, and cultural exchange. He also noted pending matters concerning UNESCO and expressed interest in the port city of Ilo. The minister did not mention the possibility of resuming binational cabinets, a practice common under previous governments. "The agenda is very broad, we are eager to embrace the relationship with Peru again and to establish all these topics on the political dialogue table," Aramayo stated.
