CIIE 2024 offers a valuable platform to showcase Peru's iconic products, including superfoods, fishery and aquaculture products, textiles, handicrafts, and high-quality manufactured goods.

China is currently Peru's largest trading partner, representing about 30 % of its exports. Since the signing of the Free Trade Agreement in 2010, bilateral trade has grown steadily, strengthening a relationship built on the exchange of goods, services, and cooperation in strategic areas such as technology and agricultural innovation.

In addition to trade in goods, there are significant opportunities for Chinese investment in key sectors of the country, including infrastructure, energy, mining, and agriculture. These investments bring mutual benefits, fostering economic growth and the development of sustainable projects with a strong social impact.

National tourist attractions, such as the Machupicchu Historic Sanctuary and the Peruvian Amazon, will also be featured, aiming to spark the interest of Chinese tourists in unique local destinations rich in history and natural beauty.

CIIE 2024 is undoubtedly a great opportunity for visibility, economic integration, and the strengthening of trade ties between Peru and China.
