The Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Peru to the Republic of Colombia is the official representative of the Republic of Peru to the Republic of Colombia.
Both countries established relations on June 6, 1822.[2] Relations were initially amicable, although a territorial dispute soon led to conflict between both states. The first such conflict was the Gran Colombia–Peru War, being followed by skirmishes that would last almost a century after, culminating in the 20th century Battle of La Pedrera and the Colombia–Peru War, ultimately being resolved by the Salomón–Lozano Treaty and the 1934 Rio Protocol.
Today, relations remain amicable, and both countries cooperate in several international organizations.[3]
Peru first sent representatives to Gran Colombia, including short-lived Guayaquil.[1]
