Honduras–Peru relations (Spanish: Relaciones Honduras-Perú) are the bilateral and historical relations between Honduras and Peru. Both countries are members of the United Nations (and its Group of 77), the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, the Latin Union, the Association of Academies of the Spanish Language, the Organization of American States, and the Organization of Ibero-American States.

Prior to 2023, relations between both countries were described as friendly.[1]

History

Both states were formerly part of the Spanish Empire and formally established relations in 1857, during the Filibuster War.[2]

In July 1966,

José Bustamante y Rivero, as a mediator for peace negotiations between El Salvador and Honduras.[3] On 30 October 1980, eleven years after the war, the two nations signed a peace treaty in Lima, Peru and agreed to resolve the border dispute over the Gulf of Fonseca and five sections of land boundary through the International Court of Justice (ICJ).[3]

Both countries became briefly involved in an international incident when Honduran ambassador Eduardo Martell was among the hostages of the Japanese embassy hostage crisis in late 1996.

Peru recalled its ambassador from Honduras after Honduran president Xiomara Castro demanded the release of Pedro Castillo from prison during the 2023 CELAC summit, referring to Castillo as the "legitimate president of Peru."[4]
