Hey there! Have you ever wondered how countries on opposite sides of the world can become friends? Well, let me tell you an exciting story about China and countries in Latin America and the Caribbean!
In 2014, China’s President Xi Jinping had a big idea. He suggested that China and Latin American and Caribbean countries should work together to build a “community with a shared future.” π That means they want to help each other and grow together, just like good friends do!
To make this happen, they created something called the China-CELAC Forum. But what is CELAC? It’s a group of countries in Latin America and the Caribbean who have joined together to discuss important things. Think of it like a club where everyone works together for the good of all! π
Since 2015, leaders from these countries have met three times at the China-CELAC Forum. And guess what? The fourth meeting is happening soon in Beijing! ποΈ
These meetings are super important because they help countries talk about how they can team up on things like trade, education, and helping the environment. By working together, they’re making the world a better place! πβ¨
Isn’t it cool how countries can be friends and help each other out? Maybe one day, you’ll be part of making the world a friendlier place too! π
