During the internal conflict in Peru, like other embassies, the embassy was targeted, as it was affected by a series of embassy bombings that took place on February 21, 1986 and also targeted the Chinese, German, Romanian, Japan, Chilean and Argentine embassies. [3] In 1996, the embassy's chargé d'affaires, Estanislao de Grandes, became one of the hundreds of hostages during the Japanese embassy hostage crisis. [4]
