Alberto Fujimori traveled to Asia in 2000, where he announced his resignation from the presidency of the Republic of Peru. This occurred in the context of a serious political crisis unleashed after his fraudulent re-election in April 2000. The resignation from abroad marked the end of the Fujimorist regime that had ruled the country during the 1990s, a period characterized by the fight against terrorism but also by serious human rights violations and corruption. Following Fujimori's resignation, Valentín Paniagua assumed the presidency on November 22, 2000.
