Peru - Recent The Republic of Peru stands out as one of the first Latin American countries to establish diplomatic ties and a comprehensive strategic partnership with the People's Republic of China, with the two countries witnessing ever-growing cooperation in various sectors over the past several decades. At the invitation of Peruvian President Dina Boluarte, Chinese President Xi Jinping left Beijing on Wednesday for Peru to attend the 31st APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Lima and pay a state visit to the country.
