Mexico and Peru restored diplomatic relations Friday, ending more than three years of tensions that erupted after the impeachment and arrest of former Peruvian President Pedro Castillo in December 2022, the two governments said.
The move follows years of tensions triggered by the impeachment and arrest of former Peruvian President Pedro Castillo in December 2022.
As part of the normalization process, Peru granted former Prime Minister Betssy Chavez a safe-conduct pass after a request from the Mexican government.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum welcomed the restoration of ties at her daily news conference, calling it an important step toward rebuilding relations between the two countries.
Peru’s Foreign Ministry said separately that Chavez was granted safe conduct under the 1954 Caracas Convention on Diplomatic Asylum, to which both countries are parties.
