The family of Peru's ousted President Pedro Castillo has left Peru for Mexico after the latter offered them asylum.

Mr. Castillo remains in detention in Peru.

Peru's foreign minister had earlier granted Mr. Castillo's wife and children safe passage from the Mexican embassy in Lima to the airport.

The Mexican ambassador to Lima also departed on board the same plane after Peru had ordered him to leave the country within 72 hours.
