Peruvian President Dina Ercilia Boluarte Zegarra sent her warm invitation to people around the world to come and visit the South American coastal country months before the scheduled year-end 2024 APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting.
The Peruvian president made the invitation in an interview with China Central Television (CCTV) in Beijing on June 28.
She paid a state visit to China from June 25 to 29. It was her first trip to China since taking office in 2022, and the first by a Peruvian leader in eight years.
"We are doubling our efforts in various areas. We are going to bring Peru back to global attention. Apart from the Inca Empire, we also have the Pre-Inca cultures. This time, we have sent an invitation to 21 economies and we hope the representatives can come to Peru in advance so that they will have the opportunity to visit Machu Picchu, Sacsayhuaman, and the Sacred Valley of Pisac, and also Kuelap, Caral, Pachacamac, and the historical relics of Chan Chan besides many other places. We send our invitation to people all around the world and we will cheer for the opening ceremony of the 2024 APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting with our national drink Pisco," she said.

The China Chamber of Commerce to the European Union (CCCEU) issued a statement on Friday, expressing strong dissatisfaction with the EU's protectionism measures to raise tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs).
The European Commission -- the executive arm of the 27-nation EU -- approved to impose tariffs of up to 45 percent on Chinese EVs after a pivotal vote on Friday, even after the bloc's largest economy and major car producer Germany rejected them.
The CCCEU urged the EU to act prudently, suspend the implementation of tariffs on Chinese EVs, and focus on resolving disputes and differences through talks.
This would help avoid the escalation of bilateral trade disputes, and jointly safeguard free trade and prosperity in the green and clean energy sectors on both sides, as well as worldwide, the chamber said in the statement.
The EU’s countervailing investigation against China's EVs is an unfair protectionist practice driven by politics. Imposing high tariffs will not only affect Chinese enterprises but also interfere with the production of EVs in China by European and other overseas enterprises, the chamber said.
