On Thursday, July 9, 2026, Peru’s president-elect Keiko Fujimori publicly affirmed her full intention to revive diplomatic relations with Mexico. Speaking to journalists after an event at Lima’s City Hall, Fujimori emphasized her openness to reestablishing ties but did not provide further details.

This statement comes amid uncertainty following Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum’s recent remarks, where she left the possibility of renewing relations with Peru unclear. Sheinbaum also noted that she has not yet communicated with Fujimori and did not specify whether Mexico plans to engage diplomatically with the incoming government.

Keiko Fujimori, daughter and political heir of former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000), is set to assume office on July 28, 2026. The future of Peru-Mexico relations remains a key point to watch as the new administration prepares to take charge.
