Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi praised the dynamic growth of China-Latin America ties this week, highlighting the 10-year success of the China-CELAC Forum. 🌟 The forum, a cornerstone for cross-Pacific collaboration, has become a key driver of joint initiatives—from infrastructure projects to youth empowerment programs.
Highlights of a Thriving Alliance

🔹 Expanding Cooperation: Over 80% of Chinese-backed funding pledges—think roads, ports, and tech hubs—are already in action. The Belt and Road Initiative continues to align with LAC nations' development plans, turbocharging local economies. 💼
🔹 People-to-People Ties: From government scholarships to leadership training programs, projects bridging young minds across the Pacific are thriving. 🎓 'These efforts ensure the future of our partnership is bright,' Wang emphasized.
What’s Next?
