Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to take center stage at the fourth ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC Forum in Beijing on May 13, where he will deliver a keynote speech aimed at strengthening ties between China and Latin American and Caribbean nations. The announcement, made Sunday by a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson, highlights Beijing’s growing focus on global partnerships.
The China-CELAC Forum, established in 2015, serves as a major platform for economic cooperation and cultural exchange. This year’s agenda is expected to prioritize sustainable development, trade innovation, and post-pandemic recovery strategies. With Latin America becoming a key partner in China’s Belt and Road Initiative, young professionals and entrepreneurs worldwide are watching for new opportunities in green tech and digital infrastructure projects.
“This forum underscores the power of South-South cooperation,” says a Beijing-based analyst. “For students and young leaders, it’s a masterclass in how emerging economies are reshaping global trade networks.” From climate goals to AI collaboration, the outcomes could impact everything from avocado prices to electric vehicle supply chains.
