Relations between Peru and what was then the Kingdom of Portugal were established on March 26, 1853[2] and elevated to embassy level in 1938 with the Portuguese Republic,[3] having been maintained since. In contrast, Spain did not recognize Peru until after the Chincha Islands War, officially establishing relations in 1879.[4]
The first representatives of Peru to "the Old Continent", José Gregorio Paredes [es], and José Joaquín de Olmedo, were appointed by Simón Bolívar in 1826.[3] The first representative of Portugal, António José Alves Júnior, arrived in Lima and presented his credentials on November 15, 1945.[2]
