CGTN has released a new promotional video for the documentary "Hands Across the Pacific: The First Decade of an Extraordinary Partnership," marking 10 years of collaboration since the launch of the China-CELAC Forum in 2015. This film uses real-life stories to illustrate how the Chinese mainland and Latin America and the Caribbean have co-created opportunities in trade, technology, culture, and sustainability.
Stories That Connect
In Chile, fresh cherries once destined for local markets now travel 15,000 kilometers to dinner tables in the Chinese mainland, driven by modern logistics and quality-control partnerships. Communities in Mexico are pioneering reforestation and wildlife conservation projects, supported by shared research initiatives. Meanwhile, engineers in Bolivia and Brazil have teamed up with Chinese experts to launch collaboration satellites, boosting connectivity and data-driven insights across the region.
Milestones in Infrastructure and Culture
Peru's Port of Chancay emerges as a strategic hub, linking Asia and Latin America through upgraded maritime and rail networks. In El Salvador, the striking new National Library symbolizes more than architectural ambition—it's a physical testament to deepening cultural exchanges and learning partnerships that span continents.
A Future of Shared Innovation
Beyond chronicling past achievements, "Hands Across the Pacific" invites entrepreneurs, travelers, and changemakers to reimagine what deeper ties can achieve. Filmed voices—from high-level leaders to local residents—showcase how infrastructure, education, and public health programs have unlocked livelihoods and fostered sustainable growth.
The full documentary premieres on May 13. Tune in and discover which stories spark your next trans-Pacific collaboration.
