Latin America Studies

About the Center

Latin America refers to the vast American region in the south of the United States. It had been involved in the historical process of globalization at the end of the 15th century. For a long time, Latin America has been an important place for exporting primary products and a melting pot of different races and cultures, playing an important role in the development of the world economy and the exchange of civilizations. Since the new millennium, economic and trade relations between Latin America and China have become increasingly close, and China has gradually become a major trading partner for many countries in the region. Bilateral and multilateral political and cultural exchanges have also become more frequent. This trend became more obvious after the establishment of the China-Latin American Community Forum in 2014. Latin American countries actively participate in global governance and play an increasingly important role in the international arena, becoming an important force in building a new international political and economic pattern.

The center devotes itself to academic research and social services, strengthens exchanges and cooperation with relevant institutions in Latin America and international Latin American research institutions, studies in depth the characteristics and development trends of political, economic, cultural, social development and foreign relations in major Latin American countries, builds academic research heights and well-known think tanks, and provides Latin American-related intellectual support to governments, research institutions, enterprises and the public.
