Poster: Highlight of Xi’s arrival statement in Lima, Peru

On Nov. 14, 2024, Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Lima, Peru, to attend the 31st APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting and pay a state visit to Peru at the invitation of Peruvian President Dina Boluarte.

Upon his arrival, Xi was warmly received by Peruvian Prime Minister Alberto Otárola and other senior officials.

Xi delivered a speech at his arrival, extending his sincere greetings and best wishes to the government and people of Peru.

Here are the highlights from this speech.

-- China and Peru enjoy a time-honored friendship, and the China-Peru friendship is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

-- 53 years ago, China and Peru established diplomatic relations, making Peru one of the first Latin American countries to establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China.

-- China has been Peru's largest trading partner and the largest export market for ten consecutive years, and steady progress has been made on major cooperation projects in fields such as mining and infrastructure construction, bringing tangible benefits to the people of both countries.

-- I believe that with the joint efforts of both sides, this visit will elevate the China-Peru comprehensive strategic partnership to new heights and promote more new outcomes in bilateral practical cooperation across various fields.
