US EditionBrazil, China discuss railway from Peruvian port to Brazil territory
- On May 10, 2025, Brazilian and Chinese officials discussed building a railway linking Peru's Chancay port to Brazil's Atlantic coast through Acre and Bahia.
- This plan follows China's strategy to expand trade in Latin America and responds to Brazil's rejection of a shorter Amazon route due to environmental concerns.
- The railroad aims to reduce maritime shipping distance to Asia by around 10,000 kilometers, easing dependence on Brazil's congested Santos port that handles one-third of exports.
- The project, backed by President Xi Jinping and estimated to cost $1.3 billion, is described by Planning Minister Simone Tebet as transformative and could take five to eight years to complete.
- The railway could strengthen Brazil-China trade ties valued over $160 billion in 2023 and promote economic growth in Brazil's interior regions while respecting indigenous and environmental areas.
