On the evening of November 14, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Peruvian President Dina Boluarte jointly attended the inauguration ceremony of Chancay Port via video link from the Presidential Palace in Lima.

President Xi emphasized that Chancay Port is not only a deep-water port but also South America's first smart and green port. It will bring significant benefits to Peru, create substantial employment opportunities, and strengthen Peru's strategic position as a gateway linking land and sea, connecting Asia and Latin America.

President Dina Boluarte noted that the opening of Chancay Port marks a pivotal step toward Peru's ambition of becoming an international shipping and trade center, heralding a new chapter in its economic development.

Wang Tongzhou, Chairman of CCCC, addressed the ceremony. He highlighted that CCCC has been active in the Peruvian market since 1996, contributing to critical projects like the Lima-Canta Highway, the Salvador Vehicular Bridge, the San Gaban III Hydropower Project, and Chancay Port. Looking ahead, CCCC will focus on major urban and transportation projects, expand partnerships in green energy and mining, and advance community-oriented initiatives like wastewater management and agricultural irrigation, achieving shared development goals.

Attendees from CCCC included Vice General Manager Chen Zhong and Tang Qiaoliang, head of CCCC's international business.

Located 80 kilometers north of Lima, the capital of Peru, Chancay Port is a flagship Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) cooperation between China and Peru. Designed and constructed by CCCC, the project also includes the provision of a complete set of port machinery and equipment. Construction began in June 2021, with primary components comprising four berths, main and secondary breakwaters, roads, storage yards, and a comprehensive office complex. The port's annual designed capacity is projected to handle 1 million TEUs of containers, 6 million tons of bulk and general cargo, and 160,000 vehicles.

CCCC integrated green development throughout the Chancay Port, employing innovative solutions to address construction challenges. By developing a smart piling platform, the project achieved "zero oil leakage" and "zero pollution," while advanced vibroflotation technology reduced noise, dust pollution, and construction time by nearly 50%. Wastewater recycling systems lowered water consumption by over 25%, alleviating water scarcity issues, and a cutting-edge digital management platform enabled end-to-end oversight, boosting efficiency. These measures underscored CCCC's commitment to sustainability, operational excellence, and environmental protection.

The project prioritized the protection of wetland ecosystems and endangered local species, actively maintaining the surrounding wetland environment while engaging local residents and students in conservation efforts. As a result, the wetlands not only remained undisturbed during construction but also became a popular attraction for the community.
