English Translation:
the 5th Latin American and Caribbean Ambassadors’ Dialogue was held at Tsinghua University on March 25, with the theme "China's 15th Five-Year Plan and Economic Transformation". Participants discussed the goals and prospects of the 15th Five-Year Plan and explored its impact on economic and trade cooperation between China and Latin America and the Caribbean region.
Focusing on development issues of common concern to China and Latin America and the Caribbean, this event brought together 34 diplomatic representatives from 22 countries in the region, including 10 incumbent ambassadors. Through a series of activities such as keynote speeches and roundtable discussions, the conference further deepened China-Latin America policy dialogue, experience exchange and mutual learning.
Martin Charles, Ambassador of Dominica to China, said: "In the 15th Five-Year Plan, we believe there are huge cooperation opportunities between China and Latin American and Caribbean countries. Over the years, China has made continuous progress in innovation. Through cooperation in fields such as technology transfer, trade and telecommunications, we believe these achievements made between China and Latin America and the Caribbean will bring great mutual benefits to both sides in cooperation."
Cultivating students' global competitiveness is one of the important goals of Tsinghua University's global strategy. Since launching the "China-Latin America Youth Responding to Global Challenges – Poverty Alleviation Camp" project in 2024, Tsinghua University has carried out cooperation with many universities in Brazil, Chile and Peru to share South-South cooperation experiences.
Chen Taotao, Director of the Tsinghua University Latin America Center, said: "Given the great distance between China and Latin America, to achieve a sustained and long-term friendship, both sides must understand each other. We need innovative thinking and build corresponding platforms to enable young people to understand each other, and ultimately promote the common prosperity of China and Latin American and Caribbean countries. We look forward to Tsinghua University making contributions in this regard."
