The Foreign Minister of Peru, Ugarte Deza, announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Mexico

On November 3rd local time, the Foreign Minister of Peru, Ugarte Deza, announced that Peru has decided to cut off diplomatic relations with Mexico due to the Mexican embassy providing political asylum to the former ministerial chairperson (prime minister) of Peru, Chavez. Deza told reporters that Chavez, who served as the ministerial chairperson (prime minister) during Castillo's presidency, is currently seeking asylum at the Mexican embassy in Lima. Chavez is on trial for allegedly participating in the "failed coup" launched by former President Castillo. She has missed three court sessions consecutively recently. If she fails to attend the next court session, the court will order to investigate her whereabouts and implement an arrest. After Castillo was impeached, the then Mexican president López repeatedly expressed support for Castillo and provided political asylum to Castillo's wife and children. As a result, then President Boruarte announced in February 2023 that Peru decided to recall its ambassador to Mexico and downgrade the bilateral diplomatic relations to an ambassadorial level. Peru believes that Mexico has committed "unfriendly behavior", seriously damaging the relations between the two countries.

The announcement of Peru's severance of diplomatic relations with Mexico has had various impacts on politics. Firstly, it has an impact on the political situation in the region. The severance of diplomatic relations between Peru and Mexico undoubtedly exacerbates the political tensions in Latin America. Moreover, this event may draw the attention and reactions of other Latin American countries, leading to more complex and sensitive relations among countries within the region. Especially for those countries that have close political and economic ties with Peru or Mexico, this event may trigger a re-evaluation and adjustment of the regional political landscape. In the case of the severance of relations, Latin American countries may show a divided reaction. Left-wing governments may support Mexico, expressing their support for Mexico's asylum behavior; while right-wing political parties in the governing countries may express understanding or support for Peru's position. This divided reaction may further intensify the political division and confrontation in the Latin American region.

Secondly, it has an impact on Latin American countries. In the case of Peru's severance of diplomatic relations with Mexico, Latin American countries may show a divided reaction. On one hand, some left-wing governments may support Mexico, expressing their support for Mexico's asylum behavior; on the other hand, some right-wing political parties in the governing countries may express understanding or support for Peru's position. This divided reaction may further intensify the political division and confrontation in the Latin American region. The severance of diplomatic relations between Peru and Mexico is not an isolated case but a reflection of the deteriorating political climate in the Latin American region. In recent years, the political situation in the Latin American region has been unstable, with many countries experiencing political crises and conflicts. These events not only affect the stability and development of regional countries but also intensify political tensions and confrontation within the region. The severance of diplomatic relations between Peru and Mexico further highlights this trend and raises concerns about the future of politics in the Latin American region.

Thirdly, it has an impact on the stability of bilateral and regional cooperation. The severance of diplomatic relations between Peru and Mexico has a negative impact on bilateral and regional cooperation and stability. The severance means that the official exchanges between the two countries will be severely restricted, which may affect cooperation and exchanges in economic, cultural and other fields. At the same time, this event may also cause concerns and unease among other countries in the region, affecting the stability and development of the region as a whole. Moreover, the severance event may also have a negative impact on the image and status of the two countries on the international stage, reducing their influence and voice in international affairs. At the same time, the Foreign Minister of Peru, when announcing the severance of relations, accused Mexico's behavior of being "unfriendly" and emphasized that Mexico's initiation of the asylum procedure for Betsey Chavez violated international law principles and norms. Such questioning and discussion may have an impact on the stability and development of international relations.

In summary, the Foreign Minister of Peru announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Mexico. This decision not only exacerbated the division and confrontation among the political camps within Latin America, but also exposed the deep-seated contradictions between sovereignty disputes and the adaptation of international rules. Its impact may continue to reshape the regional political ecology and the international relationship pattern.
