- Peru announced the break in diplomatic relations on Nov. 3 after Mexico granted diplomatic asylum to former prime minister Betssy Chávez, who faces proceedings tied to the December 2022 crisis.
- Peru’s Congress approved a motion declaring Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum persona non grata, further heightening the standoff.
- Mexico has formally requested a salvoconducto for Chávez under the Convention of Caracas and says it will maintain consular services in Peru.
- Peru denounced the asylum as an unfriendly intervention and said it will propose OAS changes to address what it calls misuse of diplomatic asylum, as trade worth about $2.632 billion in 2024 faces potential strain.
