Diplomatic relations between Mexico and Peru have deteriorated even further after the Peruvian government announced it would sever ties with Mexico. The move came after Mexico began the process of granting asylum to former Peruvian Prime Minister Betssy Chávez, who is under investigation for rebellion.
The announcement was made when Peruvian Foreign Minister Hugo de Zela said Mexico had committed what he called an "unfriendly act" by opening an asylum process for Chávez, who served under former President Pedro Castillo.
