With its completion, the Chancay Port reinforces China's commitment to infrastructure investments in South America, solidifying its geopolitical and economic influence in the region. As part of China's broader BRI framework, the port is expected to boost economic ties between Peru and China, streamlining exports of Peruvian commodities and imports of Chinese goods.

The project has also drawn attention to China's expanding footprint in global maritime logistics, showcasing its ability to reshape trade routes and foster international partnerships. Critics, however, have raised concerns about potential debt dependence and the long-term implications for Peru's sovereignty. The port aims to operationalize soon, setting a precedent for future BRI-backed endeavors.
