The plenary meeting of the Peruvian Congress approved a draft legislative proposal to authorize the entry of United States military troops on 1, 7 and 10 November.
The accepted soldiers are members of the Marine Infantry and Special Forces, who will carry out field training activities alongside their Peruvian counterparts.
The proposal was endorsed by the President of the National Defense Commission, Congressman José Urquizo (NGP), who confirmed that the project sent by the executive branch complied with the requirements established by the Constitution for this type of joint military activity. ,
As reported, the authority is in place for the entire month of November and responds to the established schedule for the entry of foreign troops into Peruvian territory.
In this regard, Congresswoman Martha Chávez (GPF) proposed the inclusion in Article 1 of the name of the country of origin of the troops, so as not to leave open the possibility for armed forces of other countries. For the sake of cleanliness and legislative technique, it should be included where they come from, he insisted, and several MPs supported the proposal to specify who and what the trip was for.
At the time of the vote, 82 members of Congress approved the resolution and three abstained.
