Ghana–Peru relations are the bilateral relations between Ghana and Peru. Both countries are members of the United Nations and the Non-Aligned Movement. Peru's embassy in Ghana is one of two embassies of Peru in Sub-Saharan Africa, the other being in Pretoria, South Africa, since the closure of three embassies in Kenya, Zambia, and Zimbabwe in 1990.[1]

History

Relations between both countries date back to the Conquista and the era of the Viceroyalty of Peru, as a number of African slaves came from the region.[2]

Both countries established diplomatic relations on June 23, 1987.[3] Peru has an embassy in Accra since 2013, which it shares with other members of the Pacific Alliance.[4][5] A consulate was opened by Peru in the coastal city of Tema in 2015.[6]

In 2015, a Peruvian delegation headed by Carlos Pareja Ríos [es] visited Accra to further bilateral relations,[7] as well as to formally inaugurate the Peruvian embassy in the state.[8] In 2016, a Ghanaian delegation visited Peru in order to further trade between both states.[9][2]

Trade

In 2020, Peruvian exports to Ghana totaled a value of US$ 17.8 million, which represented a growth of 229% in relation to 2019. On the same year, the trade balance between the two countries was US$ 17.5 million, a growth of 276% in relation to the previous year.[10]
