Exhibition reveals Chinese legacy in Peru

To celebrate the 160th anniversary of the arrival of Chinese immigration in Peru, the Embassy of Peru in Beijing is holding an exhibition in the Imperial City Museum of art.

According to the embassy, an estimated 15 percent of the 30 million Peruvian population has Chinese roots, making Peru the country populated by the most Chinese immigrants in South America.

"Chinese immigration would transform into an invaluable contribution to the economy, society, politics and culture of Peru," said Harold Forsyth, Peruvian ambassador in Beijing.
