Chile–Peru relations

Chile-Peru relations have deep historical roots, dating back to the Inca Empire. Both entities share a border and maintained connections under the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru. During the Peruvian War of Independence, Chile actively supported Peru, contributing troops and naval assistance. Despite this initial alliance, relations have been marked by periods of tension and cooperation, including territorial disputes such as the War of the Pacific (1879-1883). In more recent times, both countries have worked to foster stronger diplomatic and economic ties, although disagreements persist, particularly regarding maritime boundaries.
