Chile’s foreign minister welcomed Chinese representatives to a meeting with Latin American and Caribbean countries on Sunday, praising the Asian nation for rejecting protectionism as the United States backs away from global trade.
Foreign Minister Heraldo Munoz, who has criticized US President Donald Trump in the past, told a news conference that Latin America could do a lot more to stimulate trade with China and called on its nations to take advantage of the talks to improve ties.
“We are in uncertain and complex times, and China is playing a very constructive role in addressing these complexities,” he said.
