Dovetailing development paths

The community of shared destiny that China and Latin American countries are endeavoring to build will not only lead their ties to a new height, but also benefit the world at large.

President Xi Jinping has just concluded his third visit to Latin America since he took office in 2013. Such a high frequency of visits demonstrates Beijing's determination to further relations with countries in this region on the basis of equality, mutual benefit and common development.

China and Latin American countries have broadened their consensus through candid dialogue and by taking a long-term perspective. By dovetailing their development strategies they can connect domestic and overseas markets, integrate industry chains and value chains, and deepen China-Latin America cooperation.
