The Tsinghua Forum will hold experts’ talks, panel discussions, and open discussions through offline or online ways. The Forum mainly focuses on important issues related to China, Chile and Latin America. We are also striving for building a bridge of friendship between Chinese and Latin American friends through activities related to cultural themes.

We will sincerely invite universities, think tanks, and government agencies in Latin America and the Caribbean to work with Chinese companies, financial institutions, academia, and government-related organizations to jointly host the Tsinghua Forum and make it a platform for full and in-depth communication in an open and frank atmosphere.
