Peru and Kenya established relations in 1976, and Peru opened an embassy in Nairobi on October 30, 1987.[1] Shortly after Alberto Fujimori was elected president in 1990, the embassy was closed on the same year.[1][2] Up until 2023, the embassy of Peru in South Africa, which opened in 1994, was accredited to neighbouring countries and also represented Peru in "Sub-Saharan Africa."[3]
After considerations,[4] the reopening of the embassy was announced in September 2023.[5]
