The Argentine Republic welcomes China's growing interest in the Latin American region, evidenced by the second "Policy Paper on Latin America", published in November, and by the consensuses reached at the High-Level Government Officials' Meeting in the CELAC-China Forum, held on the sidelines of the 20th CELAC National Coordinators' Meeting on 22 January.
It must be underscored that China's interest in our region becomes especially noteworthy as this year marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Argentine Republic and the People's Republic of China. This arouses renewed expectations with regard to the strengthening of the bilateral relationship and the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries.
This year, Argentina will carry out a number of actions aimed at bolstering our relationship with the People's Republic of China. Among them are the President's upcoming trip to China in May, on which occasion he will make a State Visit and participate in the "One Belt, One Road Forum for international cooperation," and Argentina's Foreign Minister will participate in the Second Meeting of Argentina and China's Binational Standing Committee.
