History

edit

Both countries established diplomatic relations in the 1930s[1][2][3] and maintained diplomatic missions in both Lima and Stockholm.

In 1956, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Peruvian governments on the mutual elevation of the respective countries' legations to embassies. The diplomatic rank was thereafter changed to ambassador instead of envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary.[4]

The Swedish embassy in Lima was closed in 2001 but reopened in 2016[2] and the embassy of Peru in Stockholm was closed in 2010 but reopened in 2012.[1][5] The Swedish embassy closed again in 2022.[6] Since 2023, the Swedish ambassador in Santiago, Chile has a dual accreditation to Lima.
