Peru's government has announced that the country is severing diplomatic relations with Mexico over the asylum claim of former Peruvian Prime Minister Betssy Chavez, who is under investigation for rebellion.
Peruvian Foreign Minister Hugo de Zela told reporters on Monday (November 3, 2025) that Mexico's decision to grant Chavez asylum at its Embassy in Peru's capital, Lima, constituted an “unfriendly act” that adds to the existing tensions between the two countries.
