From Chancay Port to Shanghai: A Bridge Across the Pacific
Peruvian President Dina Boluarte sat down with CMG’s Zou Yun in Lima to discuss deepening ties with China ahead of President Xi Jinping’s state visit this November. The highlight? Chancay Port, a China-built megaproject set to become Latin America’s gateway to Asia-Pacific trade. 🌊🚢
Boluarte emphasized China’s role in Peru’s modernization, calling the port a 'game-changer' for regional connectivity. 'From Chancay to Shanghai' isn’t just a slogan—it’s a vision for a new maritime-land corridor linking Peru’s rich resources with China’s tech-driven economy. Think of it as the modern Great Inca Trail meeting the Digital Silk Road! 🛣️💡
APEC’s Shared Future
With President Xi set to attend the APEC Leaders’ Meeting, Boluarte highlighted Peru-China collaboration on sustainable growth and inclusive policies. 'Asia-Pacific isn’t just a region—it’s a community,' she said, nodding to plans for green energy partnerships and digital innovation. 🌱📱
Fun fact: Peru was one of the first Latin American countries to establish diplomatic ties with China in 1971. Now, 52 years later, their bond is stronger than ever—and Chancay Port might just be the start. 🤝✨
