Two indigenous Peruvian communities that are protesting against MMG Ltd's Las Bambas copper mine, forcing it to halt operations in April, on Thursday said they were willing to allow a 30-day truce and for the mine to restart operations.

Leaders from the Fuerabamba and Huancuire communities said they would allow the truce in exchange for a new round of talks.

The communities say Las Bambas has pending commitments with them.
