CGTN has released a promotional video for its upcoming documentary, \”Hands Across the Pacific: The First Decade of an Extraordinary Partnership\”. The film commemorates ten years of growing ties between China and Latin America and the Caribbean, highlighting the economic, cultural, and technological collaborations that have transformed communities on both sides of the ocean.
Since the establishment of the China-CELAC Forum in 2015, the relationship between China and the Latin American and Caribbean region has flourished. China has become a crucial trading partner, investing in infrastructure, energy, mining, technology, and financing development projects. Latin American nations have, in turn, strengthened cooperation through agreements in connectivity, education, and public health.
The documentary showcases real-life stories that illustrate this partnership’s impact. From the booming Chilean cherry exports to China, groundbreaking environmental conservation efforts in Mexico, to landmark satellite projects in Bolivia and Brazil, the film captures how these collaborations have reshaped lives and communities.
Flagship initiatives like Peru’s Port of Chancay, poised to become a vital maritime and land bridge between Asia and Latin America, demonstrate the potential of enhanced connectivity. In El Salvador, the new National Library stands as an architectural marvel and a symbol of deepening cultural ties.
Through interviews with leaders, experts, and everyday people, \”Hands Across the Pacific\” reveals how these ventures have unlocked opportunities and improved livelihoods across the hemisphere. More than reflecting on past successes, the documentary looks boldly toward the future, inviting viewers to envision the extraordinary possibilities that emerge when two worlds unite.
\”Hands Across the Pacific: The First Decade of an Extraordinary Partnership\” premieres on May 13. It’s a story of ambition, solidarity, and a shared future that promises to inspire audiences around the world.
