The Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Bolivia to the Republic of Peru is the official representative of the Plurinational State of Bolivia to the Republic of Peru.
History
Both Bolivia and Peru share a common history in the fact that both nations were once part of the Inca Empire and then as part of the Spanish Empire. Relations between both countries were established soon after their independence. Since then, relations have been turbulent, from a territorial dispute arising from the independence of Bolivia, to both countries allying themselves against Chile during the War of the Pacific.
Nevertheless, relations between both nations have remained close and both nations work together in South American multilateral organizations. There have been numerous visits between leaders of both nations, and Bolivia was allowed to build a port south of Peru's port of Ilo in 2010.
In 2023, Vladimir Cerrón, former Regional Governor of Junín, unsuccessfully sought refuge at the embassy's chancery and residence, both located in San Isidro District. The news reached the National Police of Peru, who sent patrol units to both buildings.
