Brazil will assume Mexico's diplomatic interests in Peru following a diplomatic rift over the asylum granted to former Peruvian Prime Minister Betssy Chavez. This decision comes after Peru severed ties with Mexico in November 2022, when Chavez sought asylum in the Mexican embassy amid conspiracy charges related to her predecessor's actions. The Brazilian Foreign Ministry confirmed that this arrangement was made at Mexico's request and with Peru's approval, ensuring the protection of the Mexican embassy's premises and assets in Peru.
