China firmly supports Latin America in safeguarding its sovereignty, independence and national dignity. The essence of China-Latin America cooperation is South-South cooperation, which is neither targeted nor interfered by any third party. We are willing to continue to strengthen unity and cooperation with the Latin American side, promote the development of the international order in a just and reasonable direction, and join hands to build a community with a shared future for mankind. It is believed that with the joint efforts of both sides, this ministerial meeting will achieve the expected goals and open up new prospects for China-Latin America cooperation. Laureano said that since the resumption of diplomatic relations between Nepal and China, thanks to the care and guidance of the heads of state of the two countries, cooperation in various fields between the two countries has continued to deepen, setting an example of mutual respect and equal treatment among countries of all sizes. Nicaragua values the brotherhood between Nicaragua and China, firmly adheres to the One-China principle, and will continue to stand firmly with China to oppose unilateral acts of imposing excessive tariffs.​ Thank China for its active role in promoting Latin American integration. Nepal firmly supports cooperation between Latin America and China and believes that the ministerial meeting of the China-Latin America Forum tomorrow will surely be a complete success.
