Qiu said that local cooperation is an important part of China-Latin America relations and an important link to promote the people-to-people ties between China and Latin America. At present, the century-old changes in the world are accelerating and various risks and challenges are intertwined. China and Latin America are both in a critical period of transformation and upgrading, a period of high-quality development, and a period of opportunities for opening up. They need to explore new potential, open up new tracks, and create new advantages. The local level of China and Latin America can play a more important role in this historical process. We must adhere to the principle of mutual trust, hard work and people's support, contribute to the construction of a community with a shared future for China and Latin America, write more good stories of China-Latin America friendship, and bear more fruits of China-Latin America cooperation.
