Peru’s President-elect Fujimori says she wants to restore ties with Mexico

Peru's President-elect Keiko Fujimori announced her intention to restore diplomatic relations with Mexico, which were severed in November 2025 after Mexico granted political asylum to former Peruvian Prime Minister Betssy Chavez. Chavez was part of the short-lived administration of leftist President Pedro Castillo, who was impeached and sentenced to over 11 years in prison. Fujimori made the statement as she left a public event in Lima.
