Chinese President Xi Jinping and Chilean leader Gabriel Boric reaffirmed their nations’ commitment to global development collaboration during bilateral talks in Beijing, marking fresh momentum in South-South partnerships. The meeting occurred alongside the fourth ministerial conference of the China-CELAC Forum, bringing together representatives from 33 Latin American and Caribbean countries and regions.
“China views Chile as an important partner in Latin America,” Xi stated, emphasizing shared priorities in sustainable development and multilateral coordination. Boric highlighted Chile’s role as a “fundamental bridge” between China and Latin America since establishing diplomatic ties in 1970.
The discussions touched on deepening cooperation in green energy, digital economy initiatives, and climate-resilient infrastructure – areas aligning with both nations’ modernization roadmaps. The dialogue coincided with multiple trade agreements signed between Chinese and Chilean enterprises spanning agriculture technology and renewable energy sectors.
