Miguel Ángel de la Flor

Miguel Ángel de la Flor (1924 – January 12, 2010) was a Peruvian army officer. He was born in Chiclayo and died in Lima, Peru.

A Peruvian general, he was Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces headed by Juan Velasco Alvarado from 1972 to 1976.[1] In foreign policy, in contrast with his 1970s Latin American contemporaries, which were mostly right-wing military dictatorships, he pursued a partnership with the Soviet bloc. He tightened relations with Cuba and Fidel Castro and undertook major purchases of Soviet military hardware.
