00:51

The first direct cargo shipment arrived in Shanghai from the Chancay Port in Peru on Wednesday, marking the two-way connection of the maritime route between the Chinese and Peruvian ports.

Loaded with 20,000 tonnes of Peruvian fruits such as blueberries, avocados, grapes and mangoes, the "Xin Shanghai" container ship, operated by China COSCO Shipping, arrived at the Yangshan Port in Shanghai after a 23-day journey from the Chancay Port. The journey opened the first operational sea link between Shanghai and the Chancay Port, a newly-inaugurated flagship project of the Belt and Road cooperation between China and Peru.
