Relations between both countries were established in 1853,[1] and relations have been continued since, although relations have twice been frozen (but never severed):[2] in 2001, over a dispute regarding the extradition of Vladimiro Montesinos,[3] and in 2017, when Peru recalled its ambassador and expelled its Venezuelan counterpart.[4]
