“With opening its embassy, Peru seeks to develop and strengthen the bilateral relations in political, diplomatic, economic-trade, investments, cultural and other spheres,” the ministry said.
Baku welcomed the decision of the Peruvian government, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reported.
Azerbaijan hopes that this decision will contribute to the development of comprehensive cooperation between the two countries, the ministry stated.
The diplomatic relations between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Peru were established on June 25, 1996. Both countries are interested in mutual relations.
The Embassy of Azerbaijan to the United Mexican States is concurrently accredited to the Republic of Peru. In June 2015, diplomatic mission of Azerbaijan was opened in Peru.
