Peru’s Foreign Minister Elmer Schialer Salcedo just dropped some major diplomatic tea in a chat with CGTN: The China-CELAC Forum isn’t just another meeting—it’s a game-changer for Latin America’s global partnerships. 🎯
Schialer called the platform ‘exceptionally important’ for boosting economic and political collaboration between China and the 33-member Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC). Think trade deals, tech transfers, and maybe even some ‘Barbie-level pink energy’ for regional unity. 💼💡
But wait, there’s more: The minister also spotlighted the Chancay Port project, a mega-infrastructure venture co-developed by China and Peru. This 🚢 deep-water hub could slash shipping times between Asia and South America by weeks, making avocado toast deliveries faster than your next TikTok trend. 🥑✨
‘It’s about creating opportunities beyond borders,’ Schialer said, hinting at Peru’s strategic role as a gateway for South America-China trade. With Latin America’s exports to China hitting $180B+ last year, this partnership might just be the ultimate ‘collab’ of 2024. 📈🌎
