The leaders of Chile and Peru will visit Japan next week. They are scheduled to hold separate talks with Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae and meet Emperor Naruhito.

Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Ozaki Masanao said on Friday that Chilean President Jose Antonio Kast will visit from November 19 to 21, and Peruvian President Keiko Fujimori from November 19 to 20.

The two leaders will attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Leaders' Meeting in China before coming to Japan. Both will be visiting for the first time since taking office.

Fujimori is a third-generation Japanese-Peruvian and the eldest daughter of former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori, who died in 2024.

Chile and Peru are both rich in natural resources. Takaichi likely hopes to strengthen cooperation in areas such as economic security.

Ozaki said the visits will hopefully deepen Japan's friendly relations with both countries.
