Trade and investment cooperation is booming between China and Latin America, two major emerging market economies. Despite the global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and a slow recovery of the global economy, the total China-Latin America trade volume set a new record in 2021, exceeding 450 billion US dollars. Meanwhile, China remains Latin America's second-largest trading partner, demonstrating the resilience and great potential of economic cooperation between the two economies. The 131st Canton Fair intends to support China's all-round opening-up to the world, high-quality international trade and facilitate the dual circulations of domestic and international markets. As a result, the Fair will continue to showcase the market potential of China's major trading partners, with a focus on expanding partnerships between China and Latin America and other emerging markets.
