History
Both countries established relations in the 19th century. During World War II, the Peruvian government appointed a chargĂ© dâaffaires (a.i.) to the Belgian government in exile in London, also accredited to other governments-in-exile such as those of Poland, the Netherlands, Czechoslovakia, Norway and Yugoslavia. [3]
A Belgian humanitarian mission sponsored by the embassy arrived to Peru on January 22, 1965, [4] focusing since then in working in the rural areas of Peru, building infrastructure and donating goods to local communities. [5]
Belgium maintained an ambassadorial residence in the district of JesĂșs MarĂa [6] until it moved to Barranco in 2021. [7]
