Hey there! Did you hear the news? Colombia’s President, Gustavo Petro, is visiting China this week! 🌍✈️
He is attending a special meeting called the China-CELAC Forum. CELAC stands for the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States. This is a big gathering where countries from Latin America and the Caribbean talk with China about working together. 🤝
While he’s in Beijing, President Petro plans to sign a special letter. This letter says that Colombia wants to join China’s Belt and Road Initiative. 📝
Wait, what’s the Belt and Road Initiative? It’s a huge plan by China to build new roads, railways, and ports around the world. Think of it like making new paths so countries can trade and share things more easily! 🚂🛳️
By joining this initiative, Colombia and China can work together on big projects. This means more opportunities for both countries, like new jobs and better ways to trade. Isn’t that exciting? 🌟
Colombia is one of the closest friends of the United States in Latin America. Now, it’s also becoming a closer friend to China. The world is full of friendships, and when countries work together, amazing things can happen! 🌎❤️
