Peru–Sweden refers to the current and historical relationship between Peru and Sweden. There is no Swedish embassy in Lima, although one was maintained until 2001.[1] Instead, there is a consulate. Instead, the Swedish ambassador to Chile is also accredited to Peru.[2] Peru has an embassy in Stockholm.[3]
History
The original Swedish embassy in Lima was established in 1940. The building was redesigned in 1956, by the architect J. Fussing.[1]
One major issue in Peruvian-Swedish relations has been the matter of the Paracas textiles. A large collection of textile artifacts originating from the ancient Paracas culture, located in modern Peru, were illegally smuggled out by the Swedish diplomat Sven Karell in the 1930s, contravening Peruvian laws on the export of antiquities. After years of attempting to retrieve the textiles, kept in Gothenburg, in 2013 Peruvian authorities were successful in negotiating a deal for their gradual return.[4] This exchange began in 2014, with some of the textiles put on display in Peru.[5] The plan is to have the entire collection, consisting of 89 separate pieces, returned by 2021.[6]
