Peru's President-elect Keiko Fujimori and Argentina's President Javier Milei held discussions in Lima, focusing on enhancing bilateral cooperation across key strategic sectors. The meeting, which took place at the historic Palacio de Torre Tagle, highlighted the deep historical ties between the two nations.

Both leaders underscored the importance of strengthening cooperation in areas such as the economy, security, science, technology, and innovation. Milei's presence at Fujimori's inauguration underscored his support for her incoming government, particularly given his public statements during her election campaign where he characterized her victory as a rejection of "totalitarian socialism."

Fujimori, who secured the presidency by a narrow margin, is set to lead Peru nearly 26 years after her father, Alberto Fujimori, resigned amid a corruption scandal. Milei's attendance at the ceremony, alongside other regional leaders, signals a potential alignment of conservative and right-leaning governments in South America.
