Peru's Fujimori tells Pope Leo country must pursue national reconciliation

​Peruvian President ​Keiko Fujimori, ‌the conservative ​daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori, ‌used Pope Leo's visit on Wednesday to say Peru must confront ‌its "unfinished task" of national ‌reconciliation after decades marked by guerrilla violence, state abuses and deep political ⁠polarization.

Speaking ​in ⁠Lima, Fujimori cast Leo - the Chicago-born former ⁠missionary who spent about ​two decades in Peru and ⁠became the first Peruvian citizen to ⁠lead ​the Roman Catholic Church - as a moral voice for ⁠healing old wounds through dialogue, democratic ⁠institutions ⁠and mutual respect.
