- Story Text: Peru will pitch a partnership to foreign governments to build a $10 billion rail project as part of a major development plan centered on the soon-to-be-inaugurated Chancay port, the government's transportation minister said on Tuesday (October 29).
The project involves the construction of two railways, one connecting the capital Lima south to the city of Ica, and the other with the city of Barranca in the north, Transportation Minister Raul Perez said during a press conference in Chancay, on Peru's central Pacific coastline.
The government plans to pitch it to officials from China, the United States, Britain, Canada, France and Japan, when representatives meet in Lima next month for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.
The Chancay port, which authorities hope will become a major shipping hub for South America-Asia trade, will be inaugurated in mid-November and begin container shipping to Shanghai shortly afterwards.
