Half a century ago, the two countries officially established diplomatic relations, opening a new era of China Peru friendship. Peru became one of the first Latin American countries to establish diplomatic relations with the people's Republic of China. Although China and Peru are separated by vast oceans, the friendship between the two countries has a long history. As early as the middle of the 16th century, the two peoples crossed the vast Pacific Ocean and left the mark of civilization blending in the historical process. In the middle of the 19th century, early Chinese immigrants arrived in Peru and made important contributions to the development of Peru. Today, more than 10% of the Peruvian population is of Chinese descent. Peruvians refer to Chinese restaurants with the homonym of "eat" in Cantonese and call Chinese friends with the Spanish word "Hometown", reflecting the sincere friendship of the Chinese and Peruvian people.

China and Peru established a strategic partnership in November 2008 and upgraded to a comprehensive strategic partnership in April 2013. Exchanges between the two countries at all levels and in all fields are warm, and mutual understanding and friendship are deepening day by day.

China and Peru signed the first package of free trade agreements between China and the United States in 2009. Taking this opportunity, the practical cooperation between the two countries has entered the "fast lane" of development. At present, China has maintained the status of Peru's largest trading partner, largest export market and major source of investment for many consecutive years, and is the largest importer of Peru's various products. The trade volume between China and Peru has increased nearly 1200 times from US $19.3 million at the time of the establishment of diplomatic relations to US $23.014 billion in 2020, accounting for nearly 30% of Peru's total foreign trade. Peru has become the second largest investment destination of China in Latin America, and more than 170 Chinese enterprises have invested in Peru.
