Brazil will take over Mexico’s diplomatic interests in Peru, Brasilia, a couple of months after the Andean country broke off relations with the North American nation over asylum for a former prime minister.
Lima severed relations with the Mexican government in early November after Peru’s former Prime Minister Betssy Chavez was granted asylum in the Mexican embassy in the country.
Chavez, the last prime minister for Peru’s ousted and now jailed former President Pedro Castillo, faces conspiracy charges linked to Castillo’s 2022 attempt to dissolve Congress.
Chavez denied the allegations.
In a statement, the Brazilian Foreign Ministry said it took the representation at the request of the Mexican government and with approval from Lima.
