Besides,19 Latin American countries have signed cooperation agreements with China to jointly build the “Belt and Road”.

Guided by the development concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, our university actively organized this SME management seminar to promote exchanges and cooperation between China and Latin America, Caribbean Countries and South Pacific Region in the SME management and development field.
