Dozens of Chinese books are being promoted at an ongoing book fair in Lime, the Peruvian capital, covering a broad range of topics including culture, history, martial arts, and philosophy.

The Lima International Book Fair 2016, which is organized by the Peruvian Chamber of Books, also features presentations by several Chinese writers.

The book fair opened on July 15 and will end on July 31.

Local readers and book lovers would have a chance to discuss crime novels with China's leading thriller writer He Jiahong, who is promoting his book "Crime of Blood," or to have a conversation with award-winning author Chi

Zijian, who brings his book "The Right Bank of Erguna River" to the two-week event, said Eduardo Tay, the fair's head of cultural affairs.

"The Governance of China" is also on prominent display, added Tay.

As China becomes an increasingly important global player, the general public in Peru has a growing desire to get to know the country and learn the Chinese language, he told Xinhua.
