Mexico and Peru restore diplomatic relations after Betssy Chávez safe-conduct agreement

Mexico and Peru have formally restored diplomatic relations following the resolution of a crisis involving Betssy Chávez, the former Prime Minister of Peru. The restoration follows the Peruvian government's decision to grant Chávez a safe-conduct under the 1954 Caracas Convention, allowing her to depart from the Mexican Embassy in Lima for Mexico.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum described the safe-conduct as a "goodwill gesture" by the administration of Peruvian President Keiko Fujimori. While diplomatic ties are being normalized, Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico will maintain its political stance in defense of former Peruvian President Pedro Castillo.

The two nations have begun coordinating a roadmap to reopen their respective embassies in Mexico City and Lima and intend to appoint new ambassadors. The Peruvian government noted that the granting of the safe-conduct does not preclude its right to request the eventual extradition of Chávez, who was sentenced to over 11 years in prison for conspiracy to rebel.
