The fourth ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC Forum concluded with the adoption of the Beijing Declaration on Tuesday, marking a renewed commitment to bolstering cooperation between China and Latin American and Caribbean countries. The declaration positions the forum as a “key platform” for advancing shared development goals amid evolving global dynamics.
Emphasizing solidarity among Global South nations, the document calls for joint efforts to promote sustainable development and modernization. “Strengthening unity is essential to addressing common challenges,” the declaration states, highlighting opportunities in green energy, digital transformation, and infrastructure development.
The agreement underscores the importance of multilateralism, urging adherence to the United Nations Charter and international law. It advocates for “inclusive economic globalization” that prioritizes mutual benefits and balanced growth, while reaffirming commitments to climate action and poverty reduction. Analysts suggest the alignment could reshape South-South cooperation frameworks in coming years.
