As chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee, Wang emphasized China's commitment to 'bringing real benefits to both nations' through projects like the Belt and Road Initiative. Peru's enthusiasm was clear as Salhuana highlighted plans to develop Chancay Port – a key trade gateway that could become South America's answer to Singapore 🇵🇪⚓️.
