China and Peru, two nations with ancient civilizations, are strengthening their cultural ties through a shared appreciation of history and heritage. The National Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology and History of Peru stands as a testament to Peru’s rich past, much like China’s own historical landmarks.
In November 2016, Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the museum during his state visit, highlighting the importance of cultural exchange between the two countries. This visit marked a significant step in fostering mutual understanding and respect.
Rafael Varon Gabai, the director of the museum, has been instrumental in promoting Peruvian history to the world. Collaborations with figures like Ruben Tang, former director of the Confucius Institute at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, and Rodrigo Campos, director of the Tusanaje project, have further bridged the gap between Chinese and Peruvian cultures.
These efforts reflect a growing interest in exploring the connections between China and Latin America. By embracing their shared history and cultural heritage, both nations are paving the way for stronger diplomatic and social ties in the future.
