The inaugural China-Latin America and Caribbean States Roundtable on Human Rights took place on September 10 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This landmark event marked the first institutional exchange and seminar between China and Latin American and Caribbean nations, focusing on human rights dialogue and collaboration.
On the bustling streets of São Paulo, CGTN Stringer engaged with locals to gather their perspectives on the event and their expectations for the future of China-Latin America relations, particularly between China and Brazil.
Journalist Laura Capriglione shared her insights, noting, “China is heavily investing in lifting its people out of poverty, improving education, and innovating its culture. I think that China today is an example of good governance focused on human rights.”
Lawyer Mariana Rigazzi expressed her hopes for the cooperation between China and Latin American countries. “With the joint efforts of China and Latin American countries, practical solutions can be discussed to bring about real change in society,” she said.
The sentiments echoed by Capriglione and Rigazzi reflect a broader optimism among Brazilians regarding the strengthening ties between China and Latin America. As these regions engage in open dialogue and share experiences, there is anticipation for collaborative efforts that address common challenges and promote mutual development.
