History
editPeru formally established relations with Slovakia's predecessor states: first the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and then Czechoslovakia.[2][3] After the German occupation of Czechoslovakia—now the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia—Peru ceased to recognize Czechoslovakia as a sovereign state.[3] However, as World War II progressed, Peru maintained relations with the Czechoslovak government-in-exile, among others, now based in London.[4]
After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993, relations were continued with both states, with the newly established Czech Republic continuing to inhabit the chancery of the former Czechoslovak embassy, and the Slovak Republic inheriting the commercial office building in Angamos Avenue,[5] which became the Slovak embassy[6] until its closure in 2003.[7]
In December 1996, both countries were involved in a diplomatic incident, as the Slovak chargé d'affaires, Július Grančák, became one of many hostages held by the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement in the Japanese embassy hostage crisis. He was ultimately released on December 27.[8]
Both countries have moved to improve their relations, with a cooperation agreement being signed in 2015 by Slovak Minister Ľubomír Rehák.[9]
