Embassy of Palestine, Lima

The Embassy of the State of Palestine in Peru is the higher diplomatic representation of the State of Palestine in Peru. Since 2015, the embassy is located in San Isidro, Lima; the current ambassador of Palestine to Peru is Walid Muaqqat.

Peru does not have a representation in Ramallah or any other city in Palestine, although former president Pedro Castillo announced the intention of the country to open an Embassy in 2022.

History
The first Palestinian representation in Peru opened in 1979, under the left-leaning Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces of Peru, as the office of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), which at the time had no diplomatic status.

In 1998, an agreement to host a Special Delegation of the PLO was signed, and in 2000, Javier Pérez de Cuéllar raised the level of the delegation with all the privileges granted to countries in embassies accredited in Peru, making the delegation a de facto embassy. Ollanta Humala later officially recognised the State of Palestine on January 24, 2011.

Ambassadors
The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the State of Palestine in Peru (سفير دولة فلسطين لدى البيرو; Embajador Extraordinario y Plenipotenciario del Estado de Palestina en el Perú) is the foremost representative of the Palestinian government to the Government of Peru.
