Establishment Background
As a world-renowned top-tier institution with global influence, Tsinghua University bears both the responsibility and the mission to contribute to global poverty alleviation efforts.
In 2024, Tsinghua University Latin American Center, Research Center for China-Latin America Management Studies, SEM, Tsinghua University; Center for Global Competence Development at Tsinghua University collaborated with Latin American university partners successfully launched and implemented the “China-Latin America Youth Responding to Global Challenges —— 2024 Poverty Alleviation Challenge” program in China, Brazil, and Chile. This initiative sparked a wave of university-led poverty alleviation dialogues across China and Latin America.
In November 2024, during President Xi Jinping’s state visit to Brazil for the 19th G20 Leaders’ Summit, Tsinghua University Party Secretary Qiu Yong signed a cooperation agreement with the President of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro on the “China-Latin America Youth Responding to Global Challenges” program. This agreement was included in the outcomes of Xi Jinping's visit and became a significant example of China-Latin America collaboration. It has also been acclaimed by mainstream media in both regions as “a youthful force in global governance.”
