Peru Suspends Diplomatic Relations with Mexico
Key Point
- Peru has officially suspended diplomatic relations with Mexico after Mexico granted political asylum to former Prime Minister Betssy Chávez, who faces criminal charges in Peru
Diplomatic Relations and Immigration Impact
On 3 November 2025, Peru announced the suspension of diplomatic relations with Mexico, citing repeated interference in Peru’s internal affairs. The decision follows Mexico’s granting of political asylum to former Peruvian Prime Minister Betssy Chávez, who faces criminal charges in Peru.
Key immigration-related implications:
- Peru and Mexico suspended diplomatic and consular services. This disruption affects visa processing, consular assistance, and documentation services for nationals of both countries.
- Peruvians in Mexico and Mexicans in Peru may face delays or limitations in accessing immigration support, including passport renewals, legalizations and emergency services.
- Travel and migration coordination between the two countries may be affected, particularly for individuals seeking cross-border mobility for work, study or family reunification.
Peru emphasized that the suspension is a response to Mexico’s violation of the principle of non-intervention and does not affect its broader commitment to international cooperation.
