Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra has called for a way to achieve a peaceful solution to the deepening political and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela.
Mr Vizcarra said he had recently proposed ending the legislative and presidential terms of office a year earlier than scheduled and holding elections in 2020 in the face of opposition to his efforts to pass anti-corruption measures.
He said the proposal will be presented to Congress and must be ratified in a referendum.
A business-friendly former vice president, Vizcarra took office a little over a year ago after his predecessor resigned.
