中拉合作不懼風雨，跨越山海無問西東，有力促進了拉美和加勒比地區經濟發展和民生改善，給當地人民帶來了實實在在的好處。近年來，中國軍隊與拉美國家軍隊高層互訪、工作會晤密切，多次舉辦中拉高級防務論壇、中國—拉美和加勒比軍事醫學論壇、拉美和加勒比高級軍官研討班等，防務合作富有成效，友誼互信不斷深化。我們愿同拉美國家防務部門和軍隊一道，落實好全球安全倡議，深化團組交往、專業交流、人員培訓等領域務實合作，攜手推動中拉命運共同體建設走深走實。
China-LAC cooperation has withstood winds and rains, and transcended mountains and oceans across half a globe. The cooperation has bolstered economic growth and improved the livelihoods of the LAC region, bringing tangible benefits to the local people. In recent years, the Chinese and LAC militaries have had frequent high-level exchange, and conducted numerous working level meetings. Events such as the China-LAC States Defense Forum, China-LAC Military Medicine Forum and Seminar for Senior Military Officers from LAC Countries have been held multiple times. China-LAC defense cooperation has been productive, deepening our friendship and mutual trust. The Chinese side stands ready to work with the defense establishments and militaries of LAC countries to act on the Global Security Initiative, and deepen substantive cooperation in such areas as mutual visits, professional exchanges and personnel training. Together, we will promote sustained and solid progress in building a China-LAC Community with a Shared Future.
