ABOUT
The Dialogue’s China and Latin America program engages and informs academics, policy makers, and private sector leaders from China, Latin America, and the United States on evolving themes in China-Latin America relations. We seek to determine areas of interest, identify shared priorities, and establish various means by which emerging relationships can be made productive for all countries involved.
Since 2004, and President Hu Jintao's historic visit to the region, China’s interactions in Latin America have expanded far beyond initial Taiwan-related diplomatic engagement. China’s political and trade-based ties with Latin America have flourished over the past decade, producing substantial economic benefits for China and its principal trade partners in Latin America. Over the past few years, however, China has moved beyond initial trade-based contact toward more complex diplomatic, cultural, and investment-related interactions. As a result, a number of new themes and questions are emerging.
Chinese and Latin American governments have yet to satisfactorily understand one another's interests or to fully determine the implications of increasingly complex Sino-Latin American relationships. Nor have Latin American countries taken full advantage of the range of opportunities emerging from enhanced relations with China. Our working group, program events, and publications aim to address perceived challenges by forging the basis for constructive, mutually beneficial relations between China, Latin America, and the United States over the long term.
