CCG Hosts VIP Luncheon on Business and Investment Opportunities in Peru
CCG and the Embassy of Peru in China convene senior voices from government, business, and academia to explore new opportunities for trade, investment, and long-term cooperation between China and Peru.
On 30 March 2026, the Center for China and Globalization (CCG), in partnership with the Embassy of Peru in China, hosted a CCG VIP Luncheon in Beijing, focusing on business and investment opportunities in Peru.
The event was moderated by Zhang Wei, Vice President of CCG.
Henry Huiyao Wang, Founder and President of CCG and former Counsellor of the State Council, delivered opening remarks. He described Peru as a key gateway for China’s engagement with Latin America, citing the opening of Chancay Port in 2024 as a major development that has strengthened connectivity between Asia-Pacific and South America and enhanced Peru’s role as a strategic hub.
Carlos Raúl Vásquez Corrales, Ambassador of Peru to China, gave the keynote address.
He presented an overview of Peru’s investment climate, business environment, and foreign investment policies, highlighting opportunities in mining, energy, agriculture, and infrastructure.
During the Q&A session, a number of guests in attendance raised questions and shared views on key Peru-related investment issues. Among them were Han Bing, former deputy director-general of the Department of European Affairs at China’s Ministry of Commerce and former minister-counsellor at the Chinese Embassy in Egypt; Song Yaoming, former economic and commercial minister at the Chinese Embassy in Japan; Min Hao, chairman of East House Shian IoT Technology (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd.; Ma Jianchun, president of the China Society for World Trade Organization Studies and former director-general of the Department of Foreign Affairs at the Ministry of Commerce; Chen Chun, partner in Corporate Finance and M&A at PwC China; Zhang Yihao, deputy director of the News Centre of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council; and Jin Xu, president of the China Society for International Trade.
Their questions focused on a range of Peru investment concerns, including the stability of Chinese investment, export policy, sector-specific opportunities, trade payment security, comparisons in financial investment, integration of business cultures, protection of port sovereignty, and China-Peru cultural co-operation.
Ambassador Vasquez responded to each of these questions in turn. He said that Peru attaches great importance to, and firmly supports, economic and trade co-operation with China, and that its relevant economic and foreign investment policies will remain stable. He welcomed Chinese companies to invest and do business in Peru, noting that firms could enjoy policy support through platforms such as special zones. He added that the embassy could provide necessary assistance on practical issues related to economic and trade co-operation that concern businesses.
On Chancay Port, he said its operations are being conducted fully in accordance with the law and regulations, and that related unfounded claims do not stand. He also said Peru would create better conditions for Chinese companies seeking to enter the local market through cultural exchanges and the publication of investment guidance.
