Peruvian interests and the “Belt and Road Initiative” | Centro de Estudios Estratégicos del Ejército del PerúBy: Miguel Estrada Terrones (22/09/2022). This article analyzes the importance of the inclusion of Peru in the great infrastructure and road connection initiative called “the Belt and the Route”, launched by the People's Republic of China (PRC). This initiative aims to unite the world through a series of projects that integrate the countries of Asia and Europe with the countries of Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. This project foresees, in this part of the continent, the construction of new ports, railways, highway axes, terminals and logistics centers, for which the PRC would become the main financier of these works, promoting agreements with the States involved. In this context of challenges and given the importance of these works, Peru faces the need to consolidate the financing of two large projects: “the bi-oceanic railway between Peru and Brazil” and “the megaproject of the North Pan-American railway train”. In that sense, this article aims to draw the reader's attention to this important issue, since Peru -being a country that requires large investments to develop its main infrastructures- should analyze and minimize the risks associated with its involvement in this ambitious initiative of the PRC.
