2015年年初,中国—拉美和加勒比国家共同体论坛(简称“中拉论坛”)首届部长级会议在北京举行。会议不仅推动中拉关系进入双边合作与整体合作并行发展的新阶段,也标志着中国与发展中国家整体合作机制实现全覆盖,更显示了拉美和加勒比地区在中国外交格局中的重要地位。
At the beginning of 2015, the first Ministerial Meeting of the Forum of China and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (referred to as China-CELAC Forum) was held in Beijing. The meeting not only pushed China-Latin America relations to the new stage of the simultaneous development in bilateral cooperation and overall cooperation, but also symbolized the full coverage of the mechanism of China's overall cooperation with other developing countries. What's more, it demonstrated the important position of Latin American and the Caribbean region in China's diplomatic architecture.
一年来,在双方精心培育下,中拉论坛的嫩苗茁壮成长,展现出蓬勃生机。整体合作作为中拉关系五位一体新格局中不可或缺的一环,为中拉关系向更高水平发展提供了新的动力。
Over the past year, with the careful nurturing of both sides, the seedling of the China-CELAC Forum thrived and presented its great vitality. The overall cooperation, as an indispensable part of the Five-in-One new pattern of China-Latin America relations, provides new momentum for China-Latin America relations to move forward to a higher level.
中拉政治互信更加巩固。习近平等党和国家领导人多次与拉美领导人就推进中拉整体合作、打造中拉命运共同体深入交换意见,达成重要共识,引领中拉关系发展。拉美国家发展对华关系热情高涨,年内多国领导人访华,哥斯达黎加、厄瓜多尔分别同中国建立战略伙伴关系。中拉在国际事务中保持良好协作,在涉及彼此核心利益和重大关切问题上始终相互支持。
The political mutual trust between China and Latin America is more consolidated. Xi Jinping and other Party and state leaders and Latin American leaders have for many times exchanged views on promoting China-Latin America overall cooperation and forging China-Latin America community of common destiny, reached significant consensus, and led the development of China-Latin America relations. Latin American countries are enthusiastic about developing relations with China. Within the past year, many of their leaders paid visit to China, and Costa Rica and Ecuador have respectively established strategic partnership with China. China and Latin America keep good cooperation in international affairs and continuously support each other on issues involving their core interests and major concerns.
