The Preliminary Treaty of Peace, Friendship, Commerce and Navigation between Peru and Japan, signed in 1873 in the city of Edo (present-day Tokyo), is one of the oldest links that unites Latin America and Asia.
This treaty made Peru the first Latin American country to establish diplomatic relations with Japan, marking the birth of a long relationship of friendship and cooperation that will celebrate 150 years in 2023.
This agreement begins economic-commercial relations between both countries and constitutes the foundation of organized Japanese migration to Latin America. The relationship has also promoted developments achieved through cultural, artistic and culinary exchanges.
