History

[edit | edit source]
Further information: Peru–South Africa relations

Peru established diplomatic relations with the Republic of South Africa in 1974. At the time, the country enforced its policy of Apartheid and controlled the territory of Namibia, at the time known as South West Africa. International opposition to the country's racial policies forced it into international isolation. Peru was an active participant[1] of this opposition, and in protest of the policy and the occupation of Namibia, it closed its consulate in Cape Town in 1985.[2]

In 1986, prior to Namibian independence and as part of the protests, the Peruvian government established relations with the South West Africa People's Organisation (SWAPO),[3][4] which would become the ruling party of an independent Namibia in 1989, during that year's summit of the Non-Aligned Movement.[5][6] As part of this development, SWAPO President Sam Nujoma visited Lima on March 19, 1987, where he met with president Alan García[6] and a SWAPO representative office was opened in July of the same year.[7]

As part of the independence process, Peruvian troops took part in the United Nations Transition Assistance Group, being personally thanked by Secretary-General Javier Pérez de Cuéllar, a Peruvian diplomat.[8] The ambassador of Peru to Kenya at the time, Fortunato Isasi Cayo, presided the Peruvian delegation that participated in the celebrations of the country's independence in Windhoek from March 20 to 22, 1990.[9]

After independence, relations with the new Namibian state were formalised on July 11, 1990.[10]
