習近平指出，2015年，我同拉美和加勒比國家代表一道，在北京出席中拉論壇首屆部長級會議開幕式，宣告中拉論壇成立。10年來，在雙方精心培育下，中拉論壇已經從一棵稚嫩幼苗長成挺拔大樹。雙方攜手並肩、相互支援，拉美和加勒比建交國始終堅持一個中國原則，中方堅定支援拉方走符合自身國情的發展道路，支援拉方維護國家主權獨立、反對外部干涉；雙方勇立潮頭、合作共贏，順應經濟全球化大勢，推動貿易、投資、金融、科技、基礎設施建設等領域務實合作不斷深化，高品質共建“一帶一路”；雙方守望相助、共克時艱，積極開展防災減災救災合作，攜手應對颶風、地震等自然災害和世紀疫情；雙方團結協作、勇於擔當，踐行真正的多邊主義，共同維護國際公平正義，推動全球治理體系改革，促進世界多極化和國際關係民主化。事實證明，中拉已經成為攜手共進的命運共同體，其鮮明底色是平等相待，強大動力是互利共贏，胸懷品格是開放包容，根本追求是造福人民，具有蓬勃生命力和廣闊發展前景。

習近平強調，當前，世界百年變局加速演進，多重風險交織疊加，各國唯有團結協作，才能維護世界和平穩定，促進全球發展繁榮。關稅戰、貿易戰沒有贏家，霸淩霸道只會孤立自身。中國同拉美和加勒比國家都是全球南方重要成員，獨立自主是我們的光榮傳統，發展振興是我們的天然權利，公平正義是我們的共同追求。中方願同拉方攜手啟動五大工程，共謀發展振興，共建中拉命運共同體。

一是團結工程。繼續在涉及彼此核心利益和重大關切問題上相互支援，堅定維護以聯合國為核心的國際體系和以國際法為基礎的國際秩序，在國際和地區事務中發出共同聲音。未來3年，中方將每年邀請300名拉共體成員國政黨幹部來華考察訪問。

二是發展工程。共同落實全球發展倡議，堅定維護多邊貿易體制，維護全球産業鏈供應鏈穩定暢通，維護開放合作的國際環境。加強發展戰略對接，深入推進高品質共建“一帶一路”。中方將進口更多拉方優質産品，鼓勵中國企業擴大對拉投資。

三是文明工程。共同落實全球文明倡議，樹立平等、互鑒、對話、包容的文明觀，弘揚和平、發展、公平、正義、民主、自由的全人類共同價值。深化中拉文明交流互鑒，舉辦中拉文明對話大會。

四是和平工程。共同落實全球安全倡議，加強災害治理、網路安全、反恐、反腐敗、禁毒、打擊跨國有組織犯罪等合作，努力維護地區安全穩定。

五是民心工程。未來3年，中方將向拉共體成員國提供3500個政府獎學金名額、1萬個來華培訓名額、500個國際中文教師獎學金名額、300個減貧技術人才培訓名額、1000個“漢語橋”項目來華團組名額，實施300個“小而美”民生項目，支援拉共體成員國開展中文教育。中方將首批向拉美和加勒比地區5個國家實施免簽政策，並適時擴大對地區國家覆蓋範圍。

習近平最後強調，無論國際風雲如何變化，中國始終做拉美和加勒比國家的好朋友、好夥伴，同拉方在各自現代化征程上並肩前行，共同譜寫構建中拉命運共同體新篇章。

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday announced the launch of five programs to advance shared development and revitalization with Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries.

The five programs, ranging from solidarity, development and civilization to peace and people-to-people connectivity, were announced by Xi when delivering a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the fourth ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC (the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States) Forum in Beijing.

In 2015, Xi and LAC delegates attended the opening ceremony of the first ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC Forum in Beijing, which marked the launch of the forum.

On Solidarity Program, Xi said China is willing to strengthen solidarity with LAC countries and continue to support each other on issues concerning their core interests and major concerns, to firmly safeguard the international system with the U.N. at its core and the international order underpinned by international law, and to speak with one voice in international and regional affairs.

In the next three years, China will invite 300 members from political parties of CELAC member states every year to visit China to facilitate exchanges on national governance best practices, Xi said.

On Development Program, China is willing to work with LAC countries to implement the Global Development Initiative, resolutely uphold the multilateral trading system, ensure stable, unimpeded global industrial and supply chains, and promote an international environment of openness and cooperation, Xi said.

Noting that the two sides should foster greater synergy between their development strategies and expand high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, Xi said China will import more quality products from LAC countries and encourage Chinese enterprises to expand their investment in the region.

On Civilization Program, Xi called for joint implementation of the Global Civilization Initiative. He said both sides should uphold the vision of equality, mutual learning, dialogue, and inclusiveness between civilizations, champion humanity's common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom, and enhance China-LAC civilizational exchanges and mutual learning, including through a conference on China-LAC inter-civilizational dialogue.

On Peace Program, Xi called for joint implementation of the Global Security Initiative. He said both sides should cooperate more closely in disaster governance, cybersecurity, counterterrorism, anti-corruption, narcotics control and combating transnational organized crime so as to safeguard security and stability in the region.

On People-to-People Connectivity Program, Xi said in the next three years, China will provide CELAC member states with 3,500 government scholarships, 10,000 training opportunities in China, 500 International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarships, 300 training opportunities for poverty reduction professionals, and 1,000 funded placements through the Chinese Bridge program, initiate 300 "small and beautiful" livelihood projects, and support CELAC member states in developing Chinese language education.

China has decided to offer a visa-free policy to five LAC countries, and will expand the policy to cover more regional countries in due course, Xi said.

Gustavo Petro, president of Colombia, the CELAC rotating chair, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Chilean President Gabriel Boric, and Dilma Rousseff, president of the New Development Bank and former Brazilian president, addressed the event respectively.

Special representative of Yamandu Orsi, president of Uruguay, the incoming CELAC rotating chair, read out the president's congratulatory letter.

Faced with a world full of uncertainties, LAC countries and China should work together to promote continuous new progress in building a community with a shared future, they said.

Both sides should respect each other and firmly support each other in safeguarding sovereignty and choosing their own development path, they said, calling for strengthening the synergy between the development strategies of LAC countries and the Belt and Road Initiative, and promoting cooperation in trade, investment, infrastructure, agriculture, science and technology, new energy and education.

The two sides should also promote exchanges and dialogues among civilizations, safeguard the authority of the U.N., support multilateralism and free trade, and oppose unilateralism, protectionism, power politics and bullying to safeguard the common interests of the Global South, they added.
