Titles are English translations of the official Spanish titles by Govpedia. The government portal gob.pe (Presidency and PCM pages) refused automated access (HTTP 418) on 2026-10-13, so the ministers are verified against El Peruano, the official gazette, which published the appointments on 29 July 2026. No ministerial change after 28 July 2026 was found.
