Mexico Senate President celebrates Mexico-Peru relations restart; 'dialogue is the way,' she affirms

Laura Itzel Castillo Juárez, president of the Mexican Senate's Presiding Officers Board, expressed strong approval for the restoration of diplomatic ties between Mexico and Peru. This move marks a significant diplomatic shift after a period of strained relations.

The diplomatic rupture occurred on November 3, 2025, when Mexican authorities granted political asylum to Betssy Chávez, who served as prime minister under Peru's ousted former president, Pedro Castillo. The Peruvian government subsequently severed diplomatic ties with Mexico.

In a social media post, Castillo highlighted the importance of dialogue and cooperation, framing them as essential pillars for reinforcing unity among peoples. She stated, "I celebrate the resumption of diplomatic relations between Mexico and Peru. Dialogue and cooperation, with full respect for international law, are the path to strengthening ties between our peoples and consolidating the integration of Latin America."

The endorsement from the senator, affiliated with the Morena party, follows a joint announcement by the governments of Mexico and Peru confirming the decision to re-establish diplomatic relations after four years. This development was also confirmed by President Claudia Sheinbaum.
