US EditionBrazil Takes over Mexico's Embassy in Peru Following Diplomatic Rift
Brazil assumed responsibility for Mexico’s diplomatic mission in Peru after ties were cut over asylum granted to ex-PM Betssy Chávez, with Peru's approval, officials said.
- On Sunday, Brazil's foreign ministry said it had taken over Mexico's diplomatic interests in Peru, with Brazilian officials confirming their flag flew over the building since the day before.
