Peruvian ex President Advises Cool-head for Crisis with Chile
Peruvian ex President Alan Garcia called to adopt wise decisions in dealing with the present crisis with Chile, baring in mind Peruvian emigration to the neighboring country and the Chilean investments here.

Bilateral relations have progressively declined from last March after an Ecuadorian ex military revealed Chilean arms sales to his country during the 1995 border confrontations with Peru.

Garcia also termed such exports as "huge and serious error" while he praised the official protest to the Chilean government. However he called a mistake having suspended the meeting of ministers and negotiations for a free trade agreement with the neighbor.

This calls for an optimistic look towards the future and wish the Chilean government will ever give due explanation. I am sure that past this crisis it will do so, added the ex president and recalled that unlike 1995, ex dictator Augusto Pinochet no longer heads the Chilean Army.
