History

Peru and South Korea established relations on April 1, 1963.[1] The Korean ambassador to Brazil was initially accredited to Peru, until an embassy in Lima was opened on August 1, 1971.[2] During the internal conflict in Peru, the embassy was targeted on two occasions.[3]

During the Japanese embassy hostage crisis, the Korean ambassador, Lee Won-young, was among the initial group of hostages held captive by the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement armed group.[4]

In 2023, Peru and Korea celebrated the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.[5] [6]

Trade

Peru and Korea signed a free trade agreement in 2011 that entered into force two years later on March 1,[14] as well as a strategic alliance in 2012.[15] The signing of the FTA led to a 7.1% increase in bilateral trade between both states, reaching a total of US$ 2,780 million.[15] South Korea is one of the top 10 supplier markets in Peru.[16]

Peru is one of many countries where South Korean culture has experienced a surge of popularity,[15] and thus at least twenty Korean restaurants have opened in Lima as a result, becoming popular among locals.[17]
