Greece–Peru relations

Greece and Peru established diplomatic relations on 5 December 1965. Greece was represented in Peru by its embassy in Brazil until 1992, when the embassy in Lima was opened. Around 150-350 people of Greek descent live in Peru, including Vladimiro Montesinos, the long-standing head of the Peruvian intelligence service, Servicio de Inteligencia Nacional under Alberto Fujimori.[1] Since 1987, Peru has an embassy in Athens.[2]
