Summary
Mexico and Peru have formally restored diplomatic relations, ending a crisis that began when former Peruvian Prime Minister Betssy Chavarria sought asylum in the Mexican embassy in November 2025. The two countries have resumed diplomatic personnel exchanges after months of severed relations, marking an important repair in Latin American diplomatic relations.

According to BBC reporting, the diplomatic rupture stemmed from a political asylum dispute in late 2025. Former Peruvian PM Chavarria entered the Mexican embassy seeking asylum while facing domestic political charges, prompting strong objections from the Peruvian government. Both countries subsequently withdrew ambassadors and downgraded diplomatic levels.
The decision to restore relations was reached through multilateral mediation. Analysts note this repair reflects growing willingness among Latin American nations to seek unity in facing shared economic challenges, while also reopening doors for trade and investment cooperation between the two countries.
