DJ Peru's Pres Garcia: Chile's Envy Led To Its Spying83 days ago
LIMA (Dow Jones)--President Alan Garcia said that Chile's envy of Peru's economic growth led it to pay spies to seek secrets about Peru.
"Our nation is advancing and growing and for this they envy us and spy. They want to know our secrets," Garcia said in a speech Wednesday.
Relations between Peru and Chile have fallen to a new low following the leaking of news that a Peruvian military officer was detained after passing intelligence to Chilean agents. Garcia has said that a network of agents spying for Chile has been operating in Peru.
After Garcia this week criticized Chile, calling it a "little republic," Chilean President Michelle Bachelet responded by saying Peruvian government statements were "offensive and grandiloquent." Chile has denied the allegations of spying.
Peru has continued to demand that the Chile government carry out an investigation.
"If Chile doesn't carry out an investigation, despite the documentation that we sent them, we will have to evaluate all our relations. We hope their attitude changes. Both nations benefit from developing fluid relations," said Foreign Minister Jose Antonio Garcia Belaunde.
Chile's Foreign Affairs Minister has said that Chile's ambassador in Peru, who was in Chile for personal reasons, will remain in Santiago for consultations, until the date of his return to Lima is decided upon.
Relations between Chile and Peru have already been cool due to increased Chilean arms purchases, and as Peru pursues arbitration to back its claim for jurisdiction over a large patch of the Pacific Ocean that Chile considers its own.
Some opposition politicians in Peru have demanded that Peru cancel its trade pact with Chile, but so far the government has rejected that request.
