Overview
- Mexico’s president Claudia Sheinbaum instructed the foreign ministry on July 10 to contact the incoming Peruvian team to discuss particulars of restoring relations.
- Keiko Fujimori said on July 9 that her administration has “every intention” to retake diplomatic ties with Mexico and welcomed rebuilding cooperation.
- Key practical and legal obstacles remain unresolved, including a safe‑conduct for Betssy Chávez, who is sheltered under Brazil’s protection at the Mexican embassy in Lima, and Mexico’s continued position that Pedro Castillo’s detention was arbitrary.
- Marco Vinelli, head of Fujimori’s transition, has sought administrative pauses during the handover to preserve transparency and said his team will coordinate with ministries as talks proceed.
- Restoring ties could reopen full diplomatic representation and revive cooperation on trade, migration and regional forums such as the Alianza del Pacífico while keeping political disputes over Castillo and asylum central to negotiations.
