Peruvian President Dina Boluarte’s first state visit to China this week is set to turbocharge economic ties between the two nations, with talks focusing on trade, green tech, and mega-projects like the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). 🇵🇪💼
What’s on the Agenda?
Boluarte will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Qiang, and top legislator Zhao Leji to discuss boosting cooperation in mining, agriculture, and renewable energy. The leaders aim to expand Peru’s exports (think avocados 🥑 and copper!) while deepening collaboration in AI and eco-friendly infrastructure.
BRI’s Shiny New Port
All eyes are on the Chancay Port, a flagship BRI project near Lima set to launch trial operations this year. Coinciding with November’s APEC summit in Peru, this $3.5 billion hub could reshape Pacific trade routes — and become a symbol of South-South teamwork. 🚢🌐
From Andes to Asia
Did you know? China’s been Peru’s #1 trade partner since 2010, with bilateral trade hitting $32 billion last year. The visit could unlock new deals in education exchanges and sustainable tourism, proving that old-school diplomacy still rocks in our TikTok era. ✨
