He said he would speed up negotiations on the FTA so as to sign the summit of APEC leaders in Lima in November.

"We have agreed to carry out more dialogues, not only technical but also ministerial and Deputy ministerial level dialogues, in order to solve the existing obstacles and make negotiations continue."

To this end, Eduardo Ferreyros, Vice Minister of foreign trade, will visit China in August and work with Chinese colleagues to examine the issue of negotiations.

Ah said that there is no pressure on China to put pressure on Peru. Our two sides' desire is to seek solutions to problems that we are solving.

We are the two partner countries that seek deeper strategic alliances, not who will force them, but our mutual benefit.
