Peru severs diplomatic relations with Mexico
The severing terminates formal diplomatic and consular channels between Peru and Mexico, removing routine governmental contact and cooperation across diplomatic, political, and consular functions.
Change
Peru severed diplomatic relations with Mexico after Mexico granted asylum to former Peruvian Prime Minister Betssy Chávez, who faces criminal charges in Peru.
Why it matters
Peru announced the severing of diplomatic relations with Mexico. The action followed Mexico's decision to grant asylum to former Prime Minister Betssy Chávez at the Mexican Embassy residence in Peru. Chávez faces criminal charges related to an alleged 2022 attempt by then‑President Pedro Castillo to dissolve Congress. Peru's foreign minister characterized Mexico's asylum decision as an unfriendly act and cited repeated interference by Mexican presidents in Peru's internal affairs.
