Peru-China Entrepreneurs
Committee established
The Peru-China Entrepreneurs
Committee was established on
Friday to boost bilateral
business, trade and investment
ties.
The founding of the committee
"will mark a new milestone in
our history of economic and
trade exchanges," said Chinese
ambassador to Peru Ying Hengmin,
noting that Peru is one of
China's major trading partners
and investment targets.
China is making concerted
efforts to create favorable
conditions for trade and
commerce, especially in fields
such as service, agriculture and
technology, said Zhang Wei, vice
president of the China Council
for the Promotion of
International Trade, while
attending the inauguration
ceremony of the committee.
Rene Cornejo, executive director
of Peru's Private Investment
Promotion Agency, expressed his
confidence that the trade
between the two countries would
be boosted.
Peru will offer important
opportunities for Chinese
investment in fields such as
mining, hydrocarbons, textiles,
fishing, transportation
infrastructure, water culture,
logging, tourism and
agriculture, he said.
The bilateral trade reached 2
billion U.S. dollars in 2005,
and recorded 1.2 billion dollars
in the period between January
and June this year.
