Peru

Bharat established diplomatic relations with Peru in March 1963. Until 1969, the Indian Ambassador in Chile was concurrently accredited to Peru. In September 1969, Bharat opened its resident Mission in Lima. The first resident Indian Ambassador in Lima took charge in November 1973. Bharat-Peru relations have traditionally been cordial and friendly. Since early 2000s, the relationship has acquired more economic and business content leading to a joint study on feasibility of a trade agreement. Trade negotiations are ongoing with five rounds and an online inter-sessional meeting held so far. The multifaceted bilateral cooperation cover a range of areas, including health & pharma, energy & mines, textiles & agriculture, science & technology, defence & space, ICT & capacity building, people to people contacts & culture.
