China's ties with Latin American and Caribbean countries have been constantly strengthened in the past decade, and Chinese President Xi Jinping's upcoming trip to the region will give that relationship a further boost.
China-Latin America cooperation has been drawing more attentions from global media and scholars in recent years, and that has much to do with China's strong economic performance, the fast growth of the emerging economies such as Mexico and Brazil, and the increasingly close cooperation between China and the emerging economies in the region.
According to China's official policy paper toward Latin America and the Caribbean, Beijing believes the two sides are at a similar stage of development, face the same development task, and share a common aspiration to enhance mutual understanding and cooperation.
China and the regional countries hold the same or similar positions on issues related to economic globalization, maintaining global stability, a more just and fairer world economic and financial order, and the fight against terrorism.
