Peru ordered the reopening of its Embassy in Jamaica and the establishment of a new diplomatic mission in Guyana, with the aim of strengthening its relations with these countries, both members of the
The first decree establishes the opening of the Embassy of Peru in the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, headquartered in its capital, Georgetown.
In addition, the necessary resources are allocated for its opening and maintenance through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' budget.
The preamble of the regulation specifies that Guyana holds a strategic position in the Caribbean region and has consolidated itself as a State with strong political and economic dynamism.
This makes it an increasingly important hemispheric partner, as evidenced by the 22 resident diplomatic missions in the country, eight of which are from Latin American nations.
"Having a diplomatic representation in the Cooperative Republic of Guyana would make it possible to promote and strengthen bilateral relations in the political-diplomatic, economic-commercial, investment promotion, and scientific-technological fields, considering the strategic relevance of this link within the framework of Peru’s engagement with the Caribbean," another paragraph adds.
Embassy in Jamaica
The second regulation provides for the reopening of the Embassy of Peru in Jamaica, headquartered in its capital city, Kingston.
Similarly, the necessary resources are allocated for its reopening and maintenance, charged to the Foreign Affairs sector.
The preamble states that the host country is a valuable strategic partner, whose membership in Caricom would facilitate Peru's access to mechanisms of political, commercial, scientific-technological, and cultural cooperation, as well as efforts to combat illicit drug trafficking.
It would also provide opportunities for attracting investment within the bloc, contributing to energizing political ties with the non-Spanish-speaking Caribbean region.
"Likewise, Jamaica holds a geostrategic position in the Caribbean, hosting one of the region’s main ports, which gives it critical importance for strengthening Peru’s commercial positioning in that geographic area," the decree adds.
It also specifies that, through a diplomatic note dated May 27, 2025, the Caribbean country expressed its consent regarding the reopening of the Peruvian Embassy in its capital, in compliance with the provisions of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
Both decrees bear the signature of the President of the Republic, Dina Boluarte, and Foreign Affairs Minister Elmer Schialer.
