BRI to strengthen China, Latin America ties

The Belt and Road Initiative will help to facilitate infrastructure construction in Latin America and enable stronger connections with China, said a senior government official from Uruguay.

"Stronger infrastructure development will help to promote collaboration, trade efficiency and cooperation in finance and other sectors in Latin America," said Rodolfo Nin Novoa, the foreign affairs minister of Uruguay.

Nin Novoa spoke during the annual China-LAC Business Summit, which ended on Friday in Zhuhai, a coastal city bordering the Macao Special Administrative Region.
