Peruvian President-elect Alejandro Toledo said Monday he hopes to visit Japan and confer with Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi over deposed President Alberto Fujimori, who is living in exile in Japan.
Toledo, who vowed during the presidential campaign to have Fujimori returned to Peru, emphasized that his position has not changed. Peruvian authorities want Fujimori to stand trial in Peru.
"I want to discuss with the Japanese prime minister what measures are possible," Toledo, 55, said in a television interview. "My hope is for the realization of justice."
The Peruvian government accuses Fujimori of murder in connection with the mass execution of 15 people by a paramilitary death squad in 1991 and is seeking his extradition. Toledo won a runoff Sunday against former Peruvian President Alan Garcia.
