The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Kingdom of Denmark of the Republic of Peru is the foremost representative of the Kingdom of Denmark to the government of Peru. The ambassador, formerly resident in Lima, is currently accredited from the Embassy of Denmark in Santiago de Chile. In the past, the ambassador in La Paz was accredited to Peru instead.

Both countries established diplomatic relations on May 18, 1848.[1] Relations were elevated to embassy level in 1956, with King Frederik IX issuing a decree on November 26, 1956, that elevated the legation in Lima to an embassy.[2]

On the other hand, Peru maintained an embassy in Copenhagen from 1957 until its closure in 1988. It was reopened in 1999, but closed permanently in 2003.[3] [4] The Peruvian ambassador in Stockholm has been accredited to Denmark during the 1990s and since 2003, with a brief exception from 2011 to 2012, where the Peruvian ambassador in Berlin was accredited instead.[4] [5]
