Peru celebrates Chinese New Year with feast

Zhu Xiaoyan, cultural counselor for the Chinese Embassy in Peru, said at the event that Peru, as an important country on the ancient Maritime Silk Road, has a long-standing friendship with China.

Since the first group of 75 Chinese workers arrived in this country back in 1849, the number of Chinese in Peru has exceeded 3 million, accounting for nearly one-tenth of the country's population.

For a long time, the Chinese community in Peru has played a major role in promoting the Peruvian social and economic development.
