Library Center of China opens in Lima

Peruvians now have an important new resource to get to know China better, after the Library Center of China opened its doors in Lima on Sunday.

The showcase for Chinese culture will be "a living room for the Chinese and Peruvian cultural intelligentsia", said Huang Kunming, executive deputy director of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee.

The joint project of the China Foreign Language Publishing Administration and the National Library of Peru will include books on such topics as Chinese history, culture, literature, traditional medicine and martial arts, as well as modern China, Huang said.
