Rising power of good relations

Xi Jinping's Latin America trip set to improve political understanding and advance a fairer international order as well as promote smoother trade

From a diplomatic perspective, President Xi Jinping's visit to Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and Cuba, which began in Brazil after the conclusion of BRICS summit on Wednesday, shows that the current Chinese leadership highly values its relations with the Caribbean and Latin American countries and wants to strengthen its overall diplomatic layout with developing countries.

Being a developing country itself, China has long been advocating multipolarization, and the Caribbean and Latin America have undoubtedly become an essential part of Chinese diplomacy. However, given their geographical distance from Asia and historical reasons, the Caribbean and Latin America have not been at the forefront of China's diplomatic efforts, and relations have even slightly lagged behind China's relations with some other developing countries. To remedy this requires joint efforts.
