China and Peru, two nations with rich and ancient civilizations, continue to strengthen their cultural connections through shared history and mutual respect.
In November 2016, Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the National Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology and History of Peru, highlighting the importance of cultural exchange between the two countries.
Recently, discussions with the museum's director, Rafael Varon Gabai, alongside Ruben Tang, former director of the Confucius Institute at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP), and Rodrigo Campos, director of the Tusanaje project, have shed new light on the deepening ties between China and Peru, and more broadly, China and Latin America.
These engagements underline the growing interest in fostering understanding and collaboration in areas such as archaeology, anthropology, and history, bridging geographical distances through cultural appreciation.
The contributions of institutions like the Confucius Institute play a significant role in promoting Chinese culture and language in Peru, facilitating educational exchanges and enhancing people-to-people connections.
As both nations continue to explore their rich histories, the cultural ties between China and Peru promise to strengthen further, contributing to a dynamic and influential role in global affairs.
