南美首个“中国图书中心”在秘鲁成立

A launch ceremony was held on Sunday in Peru’s national library in Lima to mark the establishment of the first-ever Chinese book center in South America.

周日，利马的秘鲁国家图书馆举行了揭幕仪式，纪念南美首个中国图书中心的建立。

The book center was set up by China International Publishing Group and the National Library of Peru with the support from China’s Stated Council information Office.

图书中心是在中国国务院新闻办公室的指导下，由中国国际出版集团和秘鲁国家图书馆建立的。

The launch of the book center, coinciding with Chinese president Xi Jinping’s state visit to Peru, is an important outcome of China-Peru cultural exchanges, said Huang Kunming, executive deputy head of the Publicity department of the CPC central Committee, at the opening ceremony.

中共中央宣传部常务副部长黄坤明在开幕式上说，该图书中心揭幕之时，正值中国国家主席习近平对秘鲁进行国事访问之际，这是中秘文化交流的重要成果。

Xi also attended the 24th APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting during his stay in Peru.

习近平主席在秘鲁逗留期间还参加了第24届亚太经合组织经济领导人会议。

Highlighting the importance of the book center, Huang said that the center will, with joint efforts of both sides, serve as a window for Peruvian public to learn about the Chinese culture.

黄强调图书中心的重要性，他表示该中心将在双方的共同努力下，为秘鲁人民了解中国文化提供一个窗口。

The Chinese books collected and displayed by the center, which appears like a hall exhibiting the colorful Chinese culture, will help Peruvian public understand Chinese culture and contemporary China, he added.

他补充说，该中心收集和展示的中国图书，就像是一个展示丰富多彩的中国文化的大厅，这将帮助秘鲁人民了解中国文化和当代中国。

In addition, about 1,000 Chinese books were donated to the National Library of Peru at the inauguration ceremony. Those books cover a broad range of topics including the traditional culture and national conditions of China.

此外，开幕式上，黄向秘鲁国家图书馆捐赠了约1000册中国主题图书。这些图书涵盖了广泛的话题，包括中国的传统文化和国情。
