Both countries established relations in 1826.^[1] Brazil shares its second longest border with Peru (2,995 km), only behind Bolivia.^[2] Brazil represented 1.5% of international emigration of Peruvians in 2013. Likewise, Brazilians represented 4.7% of immigrants in Peru between 1994 and 2012.^[3]

History

Diplomatic relations were established in 1826, under the Peruvian government of Simón Bolívar, with the sending of José Domingos Cáceres as the first chargé d'affaires to Rio de Janeiro. In 1829, Duarte da Ponte Ribeiro was designated as the first chargé d'affaires of the Empire of Brazil and sent to Lima. In 1841, the first two bilateral treaties were negotiated in the Peruvian capital by Duarte da Ponte Ribeiro: peace, friendship, trade and navigation and limits and extradition. The treaties were not ratified by the Empire. In 1867, Brazil broke off diplomatic relations with Peru, due to Peruvian support for Paraguay, in the War of the Triple Alliance. In 1869, diplomatic relations were restored.^[1]

In 1998, Itamaraty Palace served as the location of the signing of the Brasilia Presidential Act, which settled the Ecuadorian–Peruvian territorial dispute.^[4]

Through an agreement signed in 2009, the Vice-Ministerial Commission for Brazil-Peru Border Integration (CVIF) was created.^[2]
