The extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador of Peru to Hungary is the official representative of the Republic of Peru to Hungary. The ambassador to Hungary is also accredited to Serbia (since 2018) and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Both countries established relations in the 19th century. In 1851, AustriaâÂÂHungary recognized the independence of Peru, and both countries subsequently established relations. As a result of World War I, Peru severed relations with both Germany and AustriaâÂÂHungary in 1917, reestablishing them in 1920.
After the 1968 Peruvian coup d'état and the establishment of Juan Velasco Alvarado's Revolutionary Government, relations were renewed in April 1969 with the Hungarian People's Republic as the new Peruvian government pursued closer relations with the Soviet bloc.
The Peruvian embassy in Budapest closed in January 2007 and reopened in 2017. Today, ethnic Hungarians in Latin America reside in Argentina and Peru for the most part.
