The Haitian ambassador to Peru is the highest representative of the Republic of Haiti to the Republic of Peru. The ambassador is accredited from Santiago, formerly resident in Lima prior to the 1991 Haitian coup d'état.
Background
Relations between both countries were established in the 20th century, elevated to embassy level on August 26, 1955. Both countries maintained resident diplomatic missions during this period until the 1990s, when the Peruvian embassy in the Haitian capital closed a few days prior to the 1991 Haitian coup d'état, with the embassy in Lima also closing soon after. Peru is since accredited to Haiti from its embassy in Santo Domingo, and has an honorary consulate in Port-au-Prince.
A small number of Haitians live in Peru, with most of them aiming to reach neighbouring countries instead of staying there. Meanwhile, blue helmets make up a significant part of Peruvian presence in Haiti.
