Lima : The Congress of Peru will object a US military base in its territory should an official request is submitted, said Parliament Chairman Javier Velasquez.
The statement is owed to news of US search to relocate the base it is to close in Ecuador following orders by President Rafael Correa.
“Peru has democratic relations with all the countries in the hemisphere but we defend our sovereignty,” said Velasquez.
Regular operations by US troops in Peru led to denounce potential foreign troops readying to establish a base in Iquitos, north east Amazon region, all of which the government denies.
Opposition leader Ollanta Humala said US military presence proves they run a base in the country without official consent.
