History

The former embassy in San Isidro.

Peru and Cuba formally established relations in 1902. [1] [2] Peru had previously recognised and assisted Cuban independence through an official government decree issued on August 13, 1869, during the Ten Years' War, and with ambassador to the U.S. Manuel de Freyre y Santander successfully embargoing 30 gunboats that Spain had built to blockade the island, constantly maintaining a posture in favour of the country's separation from the Spanish Empire prior to its formal independence in 1902. [3]

Relations continued following the success of the Cuban Revolution, but their troubled nature eventually led to Peru to sever diplomatic relations between both countries on December 30, 1960, [3] after a latter was reportedly found, which stated that the embassy was financing the Peruvian Communist Party to form assault units, recalling its ambassador in Havana and notifying the Cuban chargé d'affaires to leave the country immediately. [4]

After the establishment of Juan Velasco Alvarado's Revolutionary Government, Peru reestablished its relations with Cuba on 8 July 1972, which have remained since, [1] [2] through two concurrent ceremonies celebrated in Havana and Lima that saw the appointment of new ambassadors to Cuba (Joaquín Heredia Cabieses) and to Peru (Antonio Núñez Jiménez). [4] Prior to its move during the late 2010s, the Cuban chancery in Lima was located at 110 Coronel Pedro Portillo Avenue. [5] [6] [7]

After the death of Fidel Castro in 2016, a large amount of flower arrangements were left at the former chancery. [5] Five years later, during the 2021 Cuban protests, the embassy—now at its current location—was vandalized by unknown individuals who threw red paint at the building before quickly driving away. [8] [9]

Residence

The ambassador's residence is located at Pasaje El Aromito 170, [10] [11] within El Olivar Monumental Zone, the protected area of the neighbourhood, thus forming part of the Cultural heritage of Peru. [12] [13]
