CHANCAY, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- The inauguration ceremony of Chancay Port was held on Nov. 14 local time. Chancay Port is not only an important project under Belt and Road cooperation, but also the first smart and green port in South America. The first phase of the project, when completed, will reduce the sea shipping time from Peru to China to 23 days, thus cutting logistics costs by at least 20 percent.
