Commemorating 90 years of diplomatic relations between Peru and Poland, 2013.
Small amounts of Polish migrants emigrated to Peru who were promised land near the Ucayali River in the late 1800s.[1] The most prominent Polish-Peruvian was Ernest Malinowski who is accredited for building the world's highest railway (Ferrocarril Central Andino) in the Peruvian Andes. He also fought for Peru in the Chincha Islands War against Spanish forces in 1866.[2]
In 1921, Poland established an honorary consulate in Lima and in 1923 Peru opened an honorary consulate in Warsaw.[3] In 1923, Peru and Poland officially established diplomatic relations.[4] In 1967, Poland opened a Consulate-General in Lima. In 1969, the consulate-general was upgraded to an embassy. That same year, Peru opened its embassy in Warsaw.[3]
Peru and Poland celebrated 100 years of diplomatic relations in 2023. For the occasion, the Polish Post released a commemorative postcard and stamp.[6]
Both nations have signed several bilateral agreements such as an Agreement on Trade (1968); Agreement on Tourism (2008), Agreement on Scientific and Cultural Cooperation (2008) and an Agreement on the Transfer of Prisoners (2014). There are also cooperation agreements between some Peruvian and Polish universities.[4]
Tradeedit
In 2018, trade between Peru and Poland totaled US$201 million.[8] Peruvian exports to Poland mainly consist of fruits and fish products.[9] Polish exports to Peru include: electrical devices, motor vehicles, light bulbs, dairy products, petroleum oils, tractors, electrical wires and machines for the food industry.[10]
In the post-pandemic era, trade between the two nations have continued to grow and it totaled US$266 million in 2022.[8]
