[1] Sven Karell [sv], CEO of Svenska Tändsticks AB's (STAB) Peruvian subsidiary served as Swedish honorary consul general in Lima from 1925 to 1955.

[2] The decision for Sweden to have a representative in Peru was made on 30 July 1930, but it was not until 1 January 1931 that envoy Einar Modig formally began his position and the credentials were signed.

[4] In 1956, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Peruvian governments on the mutual elevation of the respective countries' legations to embassies.

The foreign service currently has a significant deficit, which also makes it necessary to take measures to achieve a balance between operations and resources.

These mainly consist of bilateral relations between Peru and Sweden on a political, commercial, economic and cultural level.

[8] On 22 November 2016, the Swedish embassy in Lima was inaugurated by Minister for European Union Affairs and Trade Ann Linde together with a Team Sweden delegation.

[7] When the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs decided to open an embassy again in Lima in 2016 and the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs was also looking for premises, it became a good and efficient solution to put both embassies at the old address in the former ambassador's residence in the San Isidro District.

The renovation created offices for the two embassies, a pergola for a better outdoor environment, energy efficiency, earthquake strengthening and major improvements regarding the accessibility of the house.

[16] The palatial villa at Calle La Santa María 120-130 in the San Isidro District was built in 1938 and purchased in 1940 by the then National Swedish Board of Public Building (Byggnadsstyrelsen) as an ambassador's residence.

When the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs closed the embassy in Lima, it was decided that the National Property Board of Sweden (SFV) would keep the building and it was leased for a long time to the aid organization Save the Children.
