The ambassador

Alexander Kofman  

Dutch ambassador in Lima

Welcome to the website of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Lima!


It is a great honor to represent the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador from Lima.

My mission is to strengthen bilateral relations with the three countries, together with my team.  We are strategic allies to achieve common goals in the fields of the fight against transnational organized crime and the protection of human rights. We also support the global sustainability agenda and encourage business between our countries, especially in the agri-food, water and maritime sectors.

I am proud to mention that in April 2024 the Peruvian-Dutch Chamber of Commerce - NLAndes was established with the objective to actively develop and promote the commercial interests of Peru and the Netherlands and its members. More information about the Chamber can be found at: https://nlandes.com/ 

Our consular department is permanently at your service to provide assistance to our fellow citizens in Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador, and also to Peruvian, Bolivian and Ecuadorian citizens who require our services such as short or long stay visas.

I invite you to follow us on our social networks to be always aware of our activities in the three countries.
