While in Lima, President Xi met with his Peruvian counterpart, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, and attended the closing ceremony of the 2016 China-Latin America Cultural Exchange Year.

The program was the biggest-ever, all-year-round cultural exchange between China and Latin America. It hosted a wide variety of cultural activities to promote Chinese and Latin America culture, advance mutual friendship and understanding, and push forward bilateral cooperation.

With the theme “Bringing In and Going Out,” the festival involved nearly 30 Latin America and Caribbean countries. Hundreds of activities, such as performances, exhibitions, movie screenings, tourism promotions and literary events were held on both sides.

The culture exchange year was proposed by Xi in July 2014, when he attended the China-Latin America and the Caribbean Summit in Brasilia.
