Peruvian foreign minister, José Antonio García Belaunde, hopes to reach a Free Trade Agreement with China during the APEC Summit of Leaders in November, taking advantage of Chinese president Hu Jintao's visit to Peru.
“Peru is very interested in establishing a Free Trade Agreement with China. We are already negotiating it and maybe we will have it signed by November this year when Asia-Pacific leaders will meet in Peru at the APEC Summit of Leaders”, he said.
Peruvian FM García Belaunde said that such an important agreement would be a great achievement for the country, because most Peruvian exports go to the United States, Europe and China.
“We hope to sign a FTA with China when (Chinese) president Hu Jintao will arrive in our country on an official visit”, he pointed out.
"We must not concentrate all our efforts on reaching agreements with the United States, but we have to look towards other world's leading economies such as China and the European Union", added García Belaunde.
