1st LD: Chinese premier arrives in Peru for official visit

Xinhua, May 23, 2015 Adjust font size:

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang arrived here Friday for an official visit to Peru, a South American country which has a free trade pact with China and wishes to diversify its economic cooperation with China.

During his visit to Peru, Li will hold talks with Peruvian President Ollanta Humala and attend a joint press conference. He will also join a discussion with representatives from Chinese enterprises in Peru to learn about their experience in doing business here.

Li will also take part in cultural exchange activities.

During Li's visit, the two nations are expected to sign cooperation agreements on economy and trade, infrastructure, technology, aerospace and communication, as well as industrial capacity, agricultural products and human resources.

The China-Peru trade volume reached 14.32 billion U.S. dollars in 2014, as bilateral free trade pact has yielded fruits since it took effect in 2010. Chinese investment in Peru totaled to 14.24 billion dollars by the end of 2014.

Peru is the third leg of Li's four-nation tour to Latin America after Brazil and Colombia. He will also visit Chile. Endi
