Miguel Angel de la Flor was a Peruvian army officer. He was born in Chiclayo in 1924 and died in Lima, Peru on January 12, 2010.
Peruvian General, he was Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces headed by Juan Velasco Alvarado. 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, tightening relations with Cuba and Fidel Castro and undertaking major purchases of Soviet military hardware.
