Peru's foreign minister said Peru and Colombia signed a mutual support agreement Monday to expand new markets in Asia and the Pacific region. The agreement was signed by Peruvian Foreign Minister Jose Antonio Garcia Belaunde and Colombian Foreign Minister Maria Angela Holguin during her official visit to Peru. The agreement says Colombian trade officials could use Peruvian diplomatic offices in Asian countries to enlarge Asian markets where Colombia does not have an embassy or a consulate, and vice versa. In the ceremony at the Peruvian Foreign Affairs Ministry, Garcia Belaunde said the agreement could be extended to political offices in the future, and a third country could also take part in the agreement. For her part, Holguin said Colombia is interested in strengthening their relationship with Asian and Pacific countries.
