The Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Peru (中華人民共和國駐秘魯大使館) is China’s chief diplomatic mission in the country. The mission was established in February 1972, three months after the two countries established diplomatic relations on November 2, 1971. Peru was the third Latin American country to recognize the People’s Republic of China, after Cuba and Chile. The embassy serves as the primary channel for political, economic, and cultural relations between the two countries. The embassy drew attention during the 2021 ‘Vaccinagate’ scandal, in which 487 Peruvian officials and elites were secretly vaccinated with courtesy doses sent by Chinese vaccine manufacturer Sinopharm before the public rollout. Medical journal The Lancet reported that 1,200 of the 3,200 courtesy doses were delivered to the embassy, which did not respond to questions about the doses it received.
