The dream of seamless connectivity between South America and Asia has taken a giant leap forward. On November 14, leaders from China and Peru officially announced the opening of Chancay Port, marking the realization of the vision “from Chancay to Shanghai.”
Unveiled during the APEC Perú 2024 summit in Lima, Chancay Port isn’t just another deep-water port—it’s South America’s first smart and green port. Officials highlighted its state-of-the-art technology and environmentally friendly design, setting new standards for ports across the region.
This landmark project is poised to bring significant benefits to Peru and the wider Asia-Pacific community. By fostering trade and enhancing connectivity, Chancay Port will drive job creation and strengthen Peru’s strategic position as a critical link between Asia and Latin America.
The opening of Chancay Port symbolizes a new era of shared prosperity, reflecting a commitment to innovation, sustainability, and collaboration across continents. As ships begin to sail from Chancay to Shanghai, a gateway to endless opportunities emerges for the youth and future generations in the Global South.
