LIMA (AFP) -- Eight years after they parted in anger, former president Alberto Fujimori will meet his ex-top advisor Vladimiro Montesinos at his trial for human rights abuses next week, court officials said on Saturday.

Montesinos, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for arms smuggling, was Fujimori's intelligence chief and right-hand man during his 1990-2000 rule and was privy to the government's policies and strategy in its ""dirty war"" against leftist insurgents.
He was summoned to appear Monday at Fujimori's trial by Judge Cesar San Martin, at the request of chief prosecutor Jose Pelaez.
However, nobody knows whether Montesinos will testify, in favorer against his former boss, or choose to remain silent.
Montesinos, who still faces trial on corruption charges, was reputedly the mastermind of the Fujimori administration, and was close to the president until October 2000 when he fled the country amid a bribery scandal, with Fujimori at his heels.
A month later, Fujimori himself was ousted and fled to exile in Japan, his parents' birthplace.
Fujimori is facing up to 30 years in prison on charges he ordered two massacres in the early 1990s that killed 25 people.
On Friday, Fujimori spoke up at his trial for the first time since it resumed on June 11. He had a cancerous sore removed from his tongue a few days earlier.
