On July 28, the Peruvian Congress held a presidential inauguration ceremony, during which Keiko Fujimori, a third-generation Japanese-Peruvian and right-wing political leader, took office for a five-year term. Her father, Alberto Fujimori, was Peru's first Japanese-origin president.
Keiko Fujimori has stated her intention to visit Japan as soon as possible. Additionally, the day before her inauguration, she held talks with Japan's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Iwao Horii, who had come to Peru to attend the ceremony.
As a third-generation Japanese descendant, it is no surprise that Fujimori would strengthen relations with Japan upon taking office. Moreover, Peru is currently facing threats from El Niño, while Japan possesses extensive experience in disaster prevention and management. Collaborating with Japan could bring technical support and financial assistance, making it difficult for Fujimori to refuse such cooperation.
However, what deserves our closer attention is the Chancay Port in Peru—a key project under China and Peru’s joint "Belt and Road Initiative." Amid U.S. efforts to undermine Chinese overseas ports, we must ask: Could a president of Japanese descent, who also has close ties with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), take action against the Chancay Port?
Previously, Fujimori also received a delegation led by China's Vice Minister of Science and Technology, indicating her intent to balance relations between China and the United States. However, her long-term strategy remains to be observed.
