LIMA -- President Xi Jinping and his Peruvian counterpart, Dina Boluarte, on Thursday attended the opening ceremony of the Chancay Port via video link.
Xi flew in earlier Thursday to pay a state visit to Peru and attend the 31st APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting.
The Chancay Port will strongly consolidate Peru's position as a gateway that connects land and sea, Asia and Latin America, said President Xi Jinping.
The Chancay Port is not only a good deep-water port, but also the first smart port and green port in South America, which, when completed, will also bring Peru huge revenues and create a large number of jobs, Xi said.
