The Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Peru to the Republic of Kenya is the official representative of the Republic of Peru to the Republic of Kenya.
Peru and Kenya established relations in 1976, and Peru opened an embassy in Nairobi on October 30, 1987.[1] Shortly after Alberto Fujimori was elected president in 1990, the embassy was closed on the same year.[1][2] Up until 2023, the embassy of Peru in South Africa, which opened in 1994, was accredited to neighbouring countries and also represented Peru in "Sub-Saharan Africa."[3]
After considerations,[4] the reopening of the embassy was announced in September 2023.[5]
