India and Peru jointly celebrated the 50th year of
establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries on 27 October 2013
in Lima. The occasion was celebrated during the three day visit of Indian Vice
President Mohammed Hamid Ansari to Peru. He was on a three-day visit to Peru.
His visit
assumes significance as India seeks to further strengthen India-Peru ties.
Indian music and classical dance performance at the mini India cultural
festival was showcased for Peruvians.
India
established diplomatic relations with Peru in March 1963. India-Peru relations
have traditionally been cordial and friendly. Since the 1990s, there has been
an increasing economic and business content to the relationship. On the
Peruvian side, an enhanced interest in the Asian region due to APEC membership,
coupled with India’s image as a technologically advanced democratic developing
country, as well as increased bilateral trade in recent years, has enhanced
India’s importance. Peru is also a member of NAM and G-77. India and Peru
cooperate closely on multilateral matters.
