Mexico City, November 22 (RHC)-- The president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, confirmed this Tuesday that the Pacific Alliance summit scheduled for this Friday in the country is suspended due to the refusal of the Peruvian Congress to allow the attendance of President Pedro Castillo.

"The meeting of the Pacific Alliance was suspended because they did not allow the president of Peru to attend and he is in charge of the presidency (of the organization), here he was going to receive it, and we are exploring the possibility of holding an event in Peru," stated López Obrador (AMLO) in his daily press conference.

AMLO reported that the possibility of holding an event in Peru in December or "making a decision" as agreed by the members of the Alliance, is being evaluated.   "It is likely that we can go and hold the meeting there in December, in the first week," said the president. 

Despite the suspension of the summit, the Mexican president confirmed the visit of the other member presidents, the Chilean Gabriel Boric and the Colombian Gustavo Petro, as well as the governor of Ecuador, Guillermo Lasso, who is seeking to join the trade bloc.

The Pacific Alliance was born as an economic and development initiative between four Latin American nations: Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru.  From that moment to date, the Alliance has become the axis of a new way of doing business in the continent.
