Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi doubled down on collaboration between China and Latin America this week ahead of a major regional forum in Beijing. In a People’s Daily article, Wang celebrated the 10-year milestone of the China-CELAC Forum, calling it a “bridge for common development” in tech, trade, and green energy.
🌎 The forum, which connects 33 Latin American and Caribbean countries with China, prioritizes “win-win partnerships,” according to Wang, who serves on the CPC Central Committee’s Political Bureau. Topics like AI innovation, sustainable infrastructure, and poverty reduction are set to dominate discussions.
💡 Analysts say the meeting underscores China’s growing role in the Global South, with CELAC nations increasingly tapping into Chinese investments and tech know-how. Wang emphasized that cooperation “transcends differences in social systems”—a nod to Beijing’s push for a multipolar world order.
📈 What’s next? Expect more joint projects in EVs and renewable energy as both sides aim to “level up” their 21st-century alliance. Stay tuned for updates from the forum! 🚀
