A visa-free agreement came into effect Tuesday for short-term trips between Russia and Peru.

Under the agreement, Russian and Peruvian tourists are not required visas for entry, exit, transit or stay in each other's country for up to 90 days.

"The intergovernmental agreement with Peru confirms our foreign political course for transparency and development of humanitarian contacts," Russian Ambassador to Peru Nikolai Sofinsky was quoted by Itar-Tass news agency as saying.

The two countries signed the agreement on Nov. 13 on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Japan's Yokohama.
