In a dynamic display of global solidarity, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called for deeper cooperation with Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries during the fourth ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC Forum. Amid increasing global uncertainties, the Chinese mainland is ready to work hand in hand with LAC countries to build a community with a shared future.
Wang Yi highlighted that leaders, including President Xi Jinping and LAC decision-makers, have reached a broad consensus on strengthening bilateral ties. His remarks underscored principles of unity, mutual benefit, and respect for each region's unique development paths.
Here are the five key areas of cooperation outlined by Wang:
- Core Interests: Emphasizing mutual respect, support for national independence, and adherence to the one-China principle without interference in domestic affairs.
- Economic & Trade: Boosting connectivity and supply chain stability through frameworks like the Belt and Road Initiative, along with the effective implementation of 66 billion yuan in credit lines to spur growth in emerging sectors.
- Peace & Security: Strengthening regional peace and stability through enhanced collaborations on cybersecurity, anti-terrorism, anti-money laundering, and disaster prevention efforts.
- Cultural Exchanges: Fostering deeper people-to-people ties via dialogues among universities, think tanks, media, and local governments to promote cultural understanding.
- Global Governance: Upholding fairness and justice by supporting true multilateralism and reforms in global governance, marking historic anniversaries like the 80th of the World Anti-Fascist War victory and the founding of the United Nations.
This comprehensive blueprint not only aims to strengthen economic and security cooperation but also to build rich cultural connections that resonate with young entrepreneurs, students, and global explorers. It’s a fresh approach to international relations—think of it as a new playlist blending diverse beats into one epic mix! 🎶🌍
