Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has met with counterparts from Argentina, Peru and Bolivia in the past week, as Beijing intensifies efforts to court Latin American countries through its Belt and Road infrastructure-building initiative.
Wang met with Argentine Foreign Minister Diana Mondino in Beijing on Tuesday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry reported. This is the first trip by Argentina’s top diplomat to China since President Javier Milei took office in December.
Wang urged greater aerospace and maritime cooperation and bilateral trade to advance the international Belt and Road Initiative. China supports Argentina’s efforts to maintain economic and financial stability, and is willing to continue providing assistance within its capacity, he said.
