Cooperation between the two sides has also covered a broader field including technologies, education, infrastructure, finance and investment.
For China and Latin American and Caribbean states, who have similar development aspirations and are seeing eye to eye regarding their ties, the all-round cooperation, which features equality, mutual benefit and common development, just happens naturally.
The upcoming ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC forum will discuss guiding principles of cooperation, major cooperative areas and institution building.
The two sides will also use the forum for collective dialogue on politics, economics, trade and culture.
These efforts will further enrich the perspective of China-CELAC cooperation, bringing closer ties.
Moreover, it is also believed that the meeting will extend China's collective cooperation mechanism to include all developing countries.
With consensus in mind and practical work in need, the China-Latin America cooperation, which covers about one-fifth of the world's area and a quarter of the world's population, will also make its unique contribution to world's economy and international order.
