A new diplomatic row has erupted between Peru and Chile after a Peruvian court ordered the arrest of two Chilean military officers over alleged spying.
The court accused the officers of paying a Peruvian air force officer to reveal national secrets.
The officer, Victor Ariza Mendoza, has been arrested and charged with spying.
Peru’s President Alan Garcia said he was leaving the Asia-Pacific summit in Singapore a day early over the espionage row.
He also said he had cancelled planned talks with his Chilean counterpart, Michelle Bachelet, at the Apec summit.
