Peru–Qatar relations are the bilateral relations between Peru and Qatar. Both countries are members of the United Nations and the Non-Aligned Movement.

History

Both countries established relations in 1989.[1] In 2011, Peru opened an embassy in Doha, with Qatar opening an embassy in Lima in response the following year.[2] Starting in 2013, a series of high-level visits took place, with two emirs of Qatar and one president of Peru visiting each other's countries. During these visits, seven bilateral treaties were signed by both countries' heads of state.[3]

Commercial relations were negatively affected by the 2017 Qatar diplomatic crisis, as transport routes became limited due to the closure of the Gulf Cooperation Council's airspace to Qatari trade (with the exception of Kuwait and Oman).[4]

In Peru, a parliamentary league of Peru–Qatari friendship operates under the Congress of Peru. As of 2023, the Peruvian community in Qatar consists of 157 people.[5]
