MEXICO CITY – Aerospace cooperation between China and Mexico has reached new milestones as both nations deepen ties in high-tech industrial sectors. Recent bilateral efforts focus on satellite technology, aviation infrastructure, and joint research programs, reflecting a broader trend of international partnerships reshaping global supply chains.
The collaboration, described by analysts as a ‘model of South-South cooperation,’ strengthens Mexico’s position as a regional aerospace hub while expanding China’s technological footprint in Latin America. Joint ventures now span telecommunications satellites, lightweight aircraft materials, and vocational training programs for aerospace engineers.
‘These projects combine Mexico’s manufacturing expertise with China’s advancements in aerospace engineering,’ said a spokesperson for Mexico’s Ministry of Economy. ‘They align with our national development goals and open pathways for third-country partnerships.’
The initiatives follow Chinese President Xi Jinping’s 2023 pledge to promote ‘practical cooperation’ with Latin American nations through technological exchanges. Mexico has emerged as China’s second-largest trade partner in the region, with bilateral trade surpassing $100 billion in 2023.
