Teleconference- China’s Broadening Footprint in Latin America: From Beijing to Buenos Aires
President Xi Jinping begins a trip to four Latin American countries.
This week Chinese President Xi Jinping begins a trip to four Latin American countries. In Brazil, he will attend a summit meeting of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and meet with leaders of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC). Subsequently, he will visit Argentina, Cuba, and Venezuela.
