Latin American leaders gather for talks in Beijing

Bangkok Post

May 13, 2025

China yesterday welcomed Latin American leaders and officials to Beijing as it seeks to draw the region closer in response to the trade war with the United States.

Beijing has stepped up economic and political cooperation with Latin American nations in recent years and has urged a united front against US President Donald Trump's recent maelstrom of tariffs.

Two-thirds of Latin American countries have joined Beijing's trillion-dollar Belt and Road (BRI) infrastructure programme, and China has surpassed the US as the biggest trading partner of Brazil, Peru and Chile, among others.

The forum between China and the 33-member Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac) is due to formally begin today.
