Algeria–Peru relations are the bilateral relations between Algeria and Peru. Both countries are members of the United Nations and the Non-Aligned Movement.
Algeria and Peru established diplomatic relations on March 10, 1972, when these countries were governed by Houari Boumedienne and Juan Velasco Alvarado, respectively.[1][2] Before the establishment of diplomatic relations, Peru had maintained a consulate in French Algeria since the 19th century as part of its diplomatic relations with France.[3] The establishment of relations with Morocco in 1964 led to the embassy in Rabat being accredited to both Algeria and Tunisia.[4]
In 1985, Algeria began a foreign policy aimed at the recognition of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic by Latin American countries, which led to the Peruvian recognition of the state in 1987.[5]
The Peruvian embassy in Algiers opened in 1972, but it closed in 1990[6] until it reopened in 2005,[7] the same year a series of treaties was signed between both countries as part of the strengthening of their relations.[2]
At the legislative level there is a Parliamentary League of Peruvian-Algerian Friendship.[8]
Algeria and Peru maintain an important commercial exchange. Algeria imports 47 million dollars a year in Peruvian products, which represents 47.3 percent of the total imports from the Arab world to Peru.[9] Algerian investments in Peru amount to nearly one billion dollars, mainly in the hydrocarbons sector.[10]
