King Felipe VI of Spain and eight regional heads of state are scheduled to attend the inauguration of Peru's President-elect Keiko Fujimori on July 28. Peruvian Foreign Minister Carlos Pareja confirmed the list of dignitaries following a meeting with Fujimori to coordinate the official transition of power for the 2026-2031 term.
The confirmed attendees include leaders from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Additionally, Aruba's Prime Minister Mike Eman will be present, along with diplomatic delegations from Japan, China, and Morocco. "We will have a large and important delegation of foreign dignitaries who will accompany the president on July 28 in Congress," Pareja told the press.
Fujimori, who secured victory in the second round by fewer than 50,000 votes against leftist candidate Roberto Sรกnchez, received her official credentials from the National Elections Jury. She recently met with interim President Josรฉ Marรญa Balcรกzar at the Government Palace.
During her address after the meeting, the leader of Fuerza Popular outlined her government's immediate priorities. "We are concerned about the arrival of El Niรฑo and we must directly confront crime to restore order," Fujimori stated, highlighting the key challenges her administration will face from day one.
