History

Diplomatic relations between Peru and Sweden were established in 1930.[1] A palace-like villa built in 1938 was bought by the then Building Board in 1940 as an ambassador's residence.[2] The embassy was closed in 2001,[2] and the Swedish ambassador in Santiago de Chile became accredited to Lima from 2001 to 2016.[3]

Following a government decision on 11 December 2015, the embassy reopened in 2016.[4] The embassy was inaugurated on 22 November 2016 by EU and Trade Minister Ann Linde together with a Team Sweden delegation.
