The Cuban ambassador to Peru is the highest diplomatic representative of the Republic of Cuba to the Republic of Peru.

Contents

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]

After the Cuban Revolution, relations continued, but their troubled nature led to Peru to sever diplomatic relationships on December 30, 1960. [3] 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]
