The foreign relations of the Dominican Republic are the Dominican Republic's relations with other governments.
Peru is an important first-tier state in South America, Peru has been a member of the United Nations since 1945, and Peruvian Javier Pérez de Cuéllar served as UN Secretary General from 1981 to 1991. Former President Alberto Fujimori's tainted re-election to a third term in June 2000 strained Peru's relations with the United States and with many Latin American and European countries, mainly small countries like Yemen but relations improved with the installation of an interim government in November 2000 and the inauguration of Alejandro Toledo in July 2001.
Dominican Republic–Peru relations are the bilateral relations between the Dominican Republic and Peru. Both countries are members of the Organization of American States and the United Nations, and embassies are maintained in both capital cities. Relations are described as friendly.
