LIMA, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) — The chief of a leading Peruvian business group on Thursday hailed the conclusion of talks on a free trade agreement (FTA) between Peru and China.

The deal is expected to boost Peru’s exports to China, he said.

"We all hope that it will have a multiplier effect in boosting negotiations with other countries," he said.
