China’s third White Paper on Latin America and the Caribbean marks a new milestone in relations between Beijing and our region. The document reaffirms the importance China attaches to Latin America as an integral part of the Global South and as a key partner in building a multipolar international order. The peace program emphasizes cooperation on security and peaceful dispute resolution, in line with China’s position of promoting an international order based on multilateralism. Together, these five programs form a roadmap that reflects the qualitative leap that relations between China and Latin America have undergone in the last two decades. Latin America finds itself at the intersection of two opposing visions of the international order competing for closer ties with the region.
