Chinese President Xi Jinping and Peruvian President Dina Boluarte will attend the inauguration of Peru's Chancay Port via video call, marking a milestone in bilateral cooperation. The project, dubbed a 'New Era Inca Trail,' aims to transform regional connectivity and economic integration across Latin America and the Caribbean. 🌍🚢
In a signed article published in El Peruano, Xi emphasized the port's role in creating a 'multi-dimensional network' linking Peru’s coast to inland areas, neighboring countries, and global trade routes. "From Chancay to Shanghai, this route will drive shared prosperity," he wrote, framing the port as a bridge between China, Peru, and Latin America. 📈🤝
The ceremony coincides with Xi's visit to Peru for the APEC Leaders' Meeting, spotlighting infrastructure as a key theme. The port is expected to boost logistics efficiency, reduce shipping times, and enhance access to Asian markets—a win for businesses and travelers alike. 🧳💼
With Peru positioned as a Pacific trade hub, the project could redefine regional supply chains. As Xi put it: "Let's ensure Chancay Port succeeds from construction to operation, lighting the way for common development." 🔌💡
