Suzhou has new sister city in Peru

Suzhou in East China's Jiangsu province will facilitate exchanges and mutually beneficial cooperation with Chancay, its newly established sister city in Peru's Lima region, local officials said.

Wei Shujie, director of the Suzhou Foreign Affairs Office, said the two cities will promote the sister-city relationship to boost cooperation in areas such as trade, port agreements and industrial park construction, contributing to the China-Peru comprehensive strategic partnership.

He said a key aspect of their cooperation will be the partnership between Suzhou Port and Chancay Port, with the shipping routes between them fostering the common development of the two countries.
