The geopolitics of the Latin American continent are experiencing winds of change as two more countries pulled out of the Lima Group. In a big setback to the right-wing block of Latin America as well as to US imperialism, Peru and St. Lucia have departed from the Lima Group. The newly formed government led by the St. Lucia Labor Party also took another crucial decision which is expected to add continental solidarity among progressive countries of the region. Prime Minister Philippe Pierre resumed relationships of friendship, respect, non-interference in internal affairs, institutional and regional cooperation with the Venezuelan government of President Nicolas Maduro. On behalf of the Venezuelan government, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Ariasza welcomed the restoration of diplomatic relations with the Caribbean country. The decision to withdraw from the Lima Group was taken as a reaffirmation of the new administration's commitment to restore friendly relations with Venezuela. Foreign Minister Alva Batista of St. Lucia said that the new government has to repair the damage caused in its foreign policies during the past five years of right-wing rule, and it had to begin with re-establishing cooperation with Venezuela. On August 3, Peruvian Foreign Minister Héctor Bejard announced that his country would withdraw from the Lima Group as part of the non-interference foreign policy of the new government of President Pedro Castillo. He also condemned the unilateral coercive measures imposed by the U.S. on Venezuela and its government officials. Peru will rejoin the Union of South American Nations, UNASUR, and strengthen the community of Latin American and Caribbean states, CELAC, and the Andean community of nations, CAN. The Lima Group is a block of right-wing governments in the Americas and has the support of the United States, the Organization of American States, and the European Union. It was founded in August 2017 in Peru's capital Lima, with the objective to support the Venezuelan opposition, discredit the Bolivarian Revolution, intensify diplomatic measures against the constitutional government of Venezuela, and force the resignation of President Nicolas Maluro. Originally, it comprised 11 Latin American countries and Canada. Later, five other countries of the region joined the group. However, in just four years since its formation, five countries have already withdrawn from the group. Of all, Peru's departure is as sharp as blow to the Alliance because it is the founding country of the group and the group is named after its capital. With the resurgence of progressive governments in the region and the strengthening of regional integration and anti-imperialist movements, the Lima Group is near its demise, with its purpose already defeated.
