The Chinese Ambassador to Peru visited the Chancay megaport one year after the start of its operations.
The Ambassador of the People's Republic of China, Song Yang, highlighted that tax revenue for the Peruvian state exceeds 1 billion soles.
On Thursday, the Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Peru, Song Yang, emphasized the strengthening of commercial relations between both nations during the commemoration of the first year of operations of the Chancay megaport.
In statements to the press, the diplomat expressed satisfaction with the achievements made during this period, underscoring that the megaport "brings a great impact on Peru's influence" in the Asia Pacific region.
"Chancay port, as a modern, more modernized port with more advanced technologies and promising Asia-Pacific markets, with direct lines; therefore, it creates new opportunities, new markets, and a great impact on Peru. Peru is currently in a good position," the diplomat told the press.
Given this scenario, Yang noted that the Chancay megaport has operated "above projected expectations," although he indicated that "we still need the support of the entire Peruvian community to continue this work."
Twelve months after its inauguration, operational figures support the optimism of the Chinese diplomatic delegation. According to Yang, the volume of exports managed through the port terminal has exceeded $3.5 billion, while tax revenue for the Peruvian state surpasses 1 billion soles.
Beyond the macroeconomic impact, the Chancay megaport is revitalizing the economy of its area of influence in the "norte chico" region of the country.
Currently, the project is a source of employment, with over 50% of its workers coming from the city of Chancay.
"We are satisfied with this success of the Chancay port, and I congratulate the Chancay port. I would also like to confirm our support and our firm position to share a future [...] with the brotherly people of Peru," said the Chinese diplomat.
