History
The first Palestinian representation in Peru opened in 1979, under the left-leaning Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces of Peru, as the office of the Palestine Liberation Organization, which at the time had no diplomatic status.In 1998, an agreement to host a Special Delegation of the PLO was signed, and in 2000, Javier Pérez de Cuéllar raised the level of the delegation with all the privileges granted to countries in embassies accredited in Peru, making the delegation a de facto embassy. Ollanta Humala later officially recognised the State of Palestine on January 24, 2011.
Peru does not have a representation in Ramallah or any other city in Palestine, although former president Pedro Castillo announced the intention of the country to open an embassy in 2022.
