On Sept. 18, Chinese President Xi Jinping addressed the 6th Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) via video. He was invited to do so by Mexico, which is the current rotating president of CELAC.
Xi emphasized that over the 10 years of CELAC’s existence, both China and CELAC have deepened their cooperation, and their joint dedication to peace and stability in the region.
CGTN reported that he “recalled the establishment of the Forum of China and CELAC in July 2014, saying the forum has developed a new way for the comprehensive cooperation between China and Latin America. He added that the forum has flourished over the past seven years and become a major platform for bringing together friendly forces from all walks of life in China and Latin America, making important contributions to deepening China-Latin America relations.”
