To this end, the government had invited politicians, heads of State branches, regional and local authorities, and representatives from national organizations.
Among the guests were former presidents: Alejandro Toledo Manrique, as well as Congress Chairwoman Ana Maria Solorzano, the head of the Judiciary Victor Ticona Postigo, Prime Minister Ana Jara and Foreign Affairs minister Gonzalo Gutierrez.
