On February 25th, the Going to Latin America Forum, hosted by the China Public Diplomacy Association (CPDA), was held at the China Imperial Springs International Convention Center in Guangzhou. Mr. Li Zhaoxing, President of CPDA; Mr. Liu Jianchao, Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Dr. Chau Chak Wing, Chairman of the Kingold Group and a well-known leader of overseas Chinese in Australia; Mr. Andrés Pastrana Arango, former President of Colombia; Mr. Jorge Quiroga Rámirez, former President of Bolivia; Mr. Roberto Kreimerman, Minister of the Ministry of Energy and Industry of Uruguay, and other guests from home and abroad delivered warm and friendly speeches.
Government officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, the National Development and Reform Commission; diplomatic envoys of Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Columbia, Peru, Uruguay, Jamaica, Cuba and Surinam; representatives of the corporate, academic, and media sectors of China and Latin America were among the more than 200 delegates who participated in the forum. Mr. Song Ronghua, Secretary General of the China Public Diplomacy Association hosted the opening ceremony.
On behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Assistant Minister Liu Jianchao extended warm congratulations to the CPDA on the convocation of the forum and the achievements it had made over the past year under the leadership of President Li Zhaoxing. He said that the forum had been convened at a crucial juncture as Latin American countries had become a group of important developing countries with unique advantages. The Chinese government would continue to prioritize its extensive cooperation with Latin America, work for the early launch of the "China and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States Cooperation Forum" within the year, and host the first ministerial conference of this forum in Beijing. Liu expressed his hope that Chinese enterprises, in their ventures in Latin America, would fully respect local cultural traditions and laws and strive for win-win outcomes with their Latin American partners.
In his speech, Dr. Chau Chak Wing welcomed the guests to the Imperial Springs International Convention Center, citing the famous Chinese saying "How happy we are, to have friends coming from afar." He said that going forward he would continue to support and contribute to the nation's master plan of public diplomacy, boost China-Latin America cooperation through non-governmental channels, and build a premium platform for international exchanges to facilitate friendly interactions between people and win-win cooperation between Chinese and Latin American enterprises.
Mr. Andrés Pastrana Arango, former President of Colombia, said that Latin American countries regarded China as a "brother of developing countries" and stood ready to build a comprehensive partnership with China. Both sides needed to meet the evolving trends of international relations and forge closer ties through enhanced understanding of each other.
Mr. Jorge Quiroga Rámirez, former President of Bolivia, said that because China's international influence was steadily growing, China and Latin America should strengthen their dialogues and strategic planning in global affairs and promote greater equality and justice in international relations.
Mr. Roberto Kreimerman, Minister of the Ministry of Energy and Industry of Uruguay, said that China had become the largest importer of agricultural products and minerals from Latin American countries, and that both sides needed to continue to pursue mutual benefit, serving as a prime example for win-win cooperation between developing countries.
Before the opening ceremony, guests of the forum jointly planted the Tree of China-Latin America Friendship and Cooperation, signifying the enduring friendship between the two sides.
The two-day forum saw extensive discussions on such issues as the macro-economic situation in Latin America, investment environment and policies, and opportunities and challenges facing Chinese companies going to Latin America.
