Event Summary

On August 7, 2026, Peru and Mexico agreed to restore diplomatic relations, which had been severed since November 2025. The severance occurred after Mexico granted asylum to former Peruvian Prime Minister Betssy Chávez, who faced conspiracy charges related to former President Pedro Castillo's 2022 attempt to dissolve Congress. As part of the restoration, Peru granted Betssy Chávez safe-conduct to travel to Mexico, while reserving the right to seek her extradition. Peruvian Foreign Minister Carlos Espa confirmed that Chavez left Peru in good health. The joint statement cited historic bonds of brotherhood and cooperation, and both governments reaffirmed respect for international law.
