The phrase “from Chancay to Shanghai” has now become a reality. On November 14, the leaders of China and Peru officially announced the opening of Chancay Port, marking a significant milestone in South American maritime trade. The announcement was made during the APEC Per\u00fa 2024 summit in Lima, where officials and representatives highlighted the port’s strategic importance.
More than just a deep-water port, Chancay Port is South America’s first smart and green port. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and sustainable infrastructure, it represents a new era in maritime logistics and environmental stewardship for the region.
This landmark project promises significant benefits for Peru and the broader Asia-Pacific region. By enhancing connectivity between Peru and Asian markets, it is expected to drive job creation, boost economic growth, and solidify Peru’s vital position as a bridge between Asia and Latin America.
Officials at the APEC summit emphasized that Chancay Port will not only facilitate trade but also foster cultural and economic exchanges across the Pacific. The port’s opening symbolizes a commitment to shared prosperity and deeper integration within the Asia-Pacific community.
