China's New Leadership and the New Development of China-Latin America Relations

Before China's current leadership was established at the 18th Congress of the Communist Party of China in November 2012, China's relations with Latin America had already been proceeding rapidly and steadily. The way the new Chinese leadership is promoting the bilateral relationship reflects China's increasing engagement with both developed and developing countries, aiming to generate win-win results on the basis of creating and consolidating various partnerships. In the new era, with a new partnership, a new road map, and a new forum, China-Latin America relations are expected to proceed with greater momentum. In the meantime, there will be new problems and challenges to tackle in order to realize the many visions and resolves of leaders on both sides.
