The Tsinghua University Latin America Center was established in Santiago, the capital of Chile, on December 6, 2018, which is an important initiative for Tsinghua University, marking the basic establishment of the overseas layout of the global strategy. The Center is the liaison and exchange base of Tsinghua University in Latin America, serving the central mission of Tsinghua University's talent cultivation, and is committed to building an integrated exchange platform between Chinese and Latin American government departments, academia, think tanks, and the business community, and to developing academic research, humanistic exchanges, and scientific and technological innovation cooperation between Tsinghua University and Latin American countries.

The Center was founded on the basis of the “China-Chile Cultural and Management Immersion Exchange Program” between Tsinghua University and Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, which started in 2006, and the Research Center for China-Latin America Management Studies, which was established in October 2010 based on the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University. Therefore, before the establishment of the Latin America Center, it has accumulated many years of experience in cooperation and exchange with Latin America and has established a good social network in Latin America as well as in the relevant institutions in China.
