Peru seeks high-level meeting with China and Brazil to advance bioceanic railway
The Ministry of Economy of Peru stated in a statement this Monday that the country will seek a high-level meeting with China and Brazil to advance a bioceanic railway project.
The Minister of Economy, Raul Perez Reyes, met with the Chinese ambassador to Peru, who told him that a meeting between the leaders of the countries would help define a joint roadmap for the regional railway corridor, according to the statement.
The proposed railway would connect Brazil to a new port on the Peruvian Pacific coast, creating a trade route with China that would allow avoiding routes through the Panama Canal and the southern tip of South America.
