Hey there, global citizens! 🌍✨
Something exciting is happening in Rio de Janeiro! China and Latin America are teaming up for the first-ever China-Latin America and Caribbean States Roundtable on Human Rights. 🙌🏼❤️ Over 100 participants are gathering to foster dialogue, promote mutual learning among Chinese, Latin American, and Caribbean civilizations, and advance diversified human rights development in our modern world.
This landmark event is co-hosted by the China Society for Human Rights Studies (CSHRS), Renmin University of China, and Universidade Federal Fluminense. It's not just about talks—it's a celebration of unity and a push towards a brighter future for human rights! 🌐✨
Did you know this roundtable also marks the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Brazil and the 10th anniversary of the China-CELAC Forum? 🎉 CELAC, or the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, is all about regional integration and cooperation.
China, the world's largest developing country, and Latin America and the Caribbean, home to many developing nations, share a common vision. They believe in pursuing human rights paths tailored to their own national conditions and that ensuring the right to survival and development is key to realizing other human rights. ✨💡
China has made massive strides in lifting nearly 800 million people out of poverty since 1978—wow! 😮 That's more than 70% of global poverty reduction during that period. With a GDP surpassing $17.8 trillion in 2023, China continues to focus on boosting its economy and improving living standards. 🚀
Latin American countries are also making waves. Take Chile, for example—its GDP per capita reached $17,093 in 2023, with extreme poverty nearly disappearing. 🌟 Mexico and Brazil are also implementing policies to improve livelihoods and promote social equity.
This cooperation is a big deal for the Global South, as China and Latin America strengthen their voices in global human rights governance. Experts say this collaboration is timely and reflects a shared journey towards better human rights for all. 🌺🌴
Ma Chaoqi, vice president of Northwest University of Political Science and Law, said, \"The dialogue not only reflects the contemporary manifestation of the Chinese concept of 'harmony in diversity' but also highlights the significance of respecting the diversity of human civilizations and promoting mutual learning between different civilizations.\" 🌸
So, let's celebrate this milestone together! 🎊 Unity and cooperation pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future. Keep an eye out for more updates on this exciting collaboration! 👀✨
