Abstract

This article explains that the formation of the government of Peru and the search for its recognition by other countries began during the process of independence. To achieve this objective, a Minister of State and Foreign Relations was appointed for the first time. However, this ministerial portfolio was not exempt from the political instability that characterized the entire nineteenth century, which is why up to two ministers, on average, were appointed per year. The article also highlights the establishment of formal relations with some countries of the region, as well as with Spain and the Vatican. Likewise, the participation of Peru in the Congress of Panama is examined, as a first attempt at supranational coordination. In summary, the article tries to demonstrate that the process of international recognition of Peru began from the beginning of the independence, and that it lasted around five decades due to the adverse internal and external context.
