From October 19 to 29， Hu Henghua， Deputy Secretary of the CPC Chongqing Municipal Committee and Mayor of the Chongqing Municipal Government， led a delegation of the municipal government to visit Mexico， Colombia， and Brazil， seeking for further Belt and Road cooperation， share opportunities brought about by building a modern new Chongqing， and deepen local exchanges， as well as trade， and economic and cultural cooperation between Chongqing and Latin America， to contribute to the steady progress of China-Latin America relations in the new era.

During the visit， the delegation met with officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mexico， the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Colombia， and the municipal governments of Mexico City， Bogota， S?o Paulo State， and Rio de Janeiro， and exchanged views with a wide range of figures from politics， business， and academia， to present a blueprint for building a new Chongqing along a new journey in the new era in a systematic manner and discuss matters for closer cooperation. Hu Henghua noted that Chongqing is following through on President Xi Jinpings important instructions and the guiding principles of the 20th CPC National Congress. Committed to building a modern new Chongqing， the city is implementing national strategies such as the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin-Hub Mega-Region and the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor （ILSTC）. Great efforts are being made to build an advanced manufacturing center with national importance， a financial center in Western China， an international consumption center， and an international integrated transportation hub. Its economy has maintained the momentum of recovery and growth and it is making solid progress towards high-quality development. He added that Chongqing is ready to share opportunities arising from its modernization drive with Latin American countries such as Mexico， Colombia， and Brazil， expand exchanges and contacts at all levels， enhance collaboration and connectivity among industries， promote coordinated innovation， trade cooperation， and cultural exchanges， to write a new chapter of win-win cooperation in the new era.

A key focus of the visit was to promote industrial collaboration and economic and trade matchmaking. For this purpose， Hu Henghua attended the Conference for Promoting Investment and Trade Cooperation between China （Chongqing） and Mexico， the Forum for International Cooperation on New Energy Vehicles between China （Chongqing） and Colombia， and the Conference for Promoting Investment and Trade Cooperation between China （Chongqing） and Brazil. He also joined the branding campaigns of Changan Auto and Seres Automobiles. He visited the Fortune Global 500 companies from Mexico and Brazil in food processing and other fields， focusing on pushing forward industrial cooperation in areas such as intelligent connected vehicles， new energy vehicles， and food and agro-processing. The three investment and trade promotions engaged more than 600 Chinese and overseas companies and enabled the signing of 21 projects， generating a total investment and trade volume of RMB21.53 billion. Aiming for “Made-in-Chongqing Vehicles Going Global，” the events allowed those brands to expand their presence in the Latin American market， with Changan Auto， Seres Automobiles， LIVAN Auto， and other auto companies signing sales agreements worth more than USD2 billion with local dealers.

In Mexico City and Bogota City， Hu Henghua attended the signing and launching events of the “China Time” project in Mexico and Colombia and the signing event of the Luban Workshop project in Mexico. It is learned that “China Time” is a sub-project of Chinas international cultural exchange program， “China Television Theater”. Marking the presence of “China Television Theater” in Latin America， this project serves to tell Chinese stories and carry on friendship with China in a better way. Luban Workshop is a state-level brand for international exchange in vocational education. As the first Luban Workshop in Latin America， the Mexican Luban Workshop will facilitate the dissemination of Chinese technologies and the overseas expansion of Chinese businesses.
