China-LatAm Comprehensive Cooperative Partnership
During his visit to Brazil in July 2014, Chinese President Xi Jinping met with the state leaders of 11 Latin American and Caribbean countries. Initiated by China, this was the first meeting between Chinese and LatAm leaders. They discussed cooperation for common development, and decided to establish a comprehensive cooperative partnership featuring equality, mutual benefit and common development. They announced the decision to set up the Forum of China and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (China-CELAC Forum), setting the course for overall cooperation.
Xi elaborated on China's policies toward Latin America and the Caribbean, and proposed building a bilateral relationship with five salient features - sincerity and mutual trust in the political field, win-win cooperation on the economic front, mutual learning in culture, close coordination in international affairs, and mutual reinforcement between China's cooperation with the region as a whole and its ties with each individual country. He depicted a "1+3+6" framework of cooperation: guided by the "1" document of the China-Latin American and Caribbean Countries Cooperation Plan (2015-2019); utilizing the "3" driving forces of trade, investment and financial cooperation; and identifying energy and resources, infrastructure, agriculture, manufacturing, scientific and technological innovation, and information technology as the "6" priority fields.
On January 8, 2015, the first ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC Forum opened in Beijing, turning bilateral cooperation from a concept to reality.
On January 22, 2018, the second ministerial meeting opened in Santiago, Chile. The attendees discussed how to align each other's development strategies and promote pragmatic cooperation in all fields under the Belt and Road framework, and to find new opportunities for development and win-win results.
