Additionally, there is a high eagerness among Peruvians to engage with China personally, with 94% expressing a desire to travel, visit, or study in China. This enthusiasm is even more pronounced among young adults aged 18 to 24, with 95.9% showing interest.
Peru stands out as one of the first Latin American countries to establish diplomatic ties with New China, fostering a comprehensive strategic partnership built on sincerity and mutual trust. The survey highlights Peru's vision to develop a \"Peruvian model\" that enhances China-Latin America relations and promotes high-level cooperation among Global South countries.
