Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Bolivian Foreign Minister Celinda Sosa Lunda in Beijing on Wednesday, marking a renewed commitment to bilateral cooperation between the two nations. Wang, who serves as a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, emphasized shared priorities in energy development and South-South collaboration during the talks.
The discussions focused on expanding partnerships in lithium resource development — a critical sector for Bolivia's economy — and advancing infrastructure projects under China's Belt and Road Initiative. Minister Sosa Lunda acknowledged the growing economic synergy, stating Bolivia welcomes Chinese expertise in sustainable mining practices.
Both sides reaffirmed support for multilateralism and the principles of mutual respect in international affairs. Wang highlighted the importance of cooperation among developing nations, noting: "China remains committed to building relationships based on equality and shared prosperity in the Global South."
The meeting followed recent agreements to increase high-level exchanges between the countries. Analysts suggest this dialogue could accelerate Chinese investments in Bolivia's renewable energy sector while strengthening cultural and technological exchanges.
