Over the past half century and more, the two countries have set many records in the bilateral relationship, becoming a model of win-win cooperation among developing countries. The Chinese side is willing to work with the Chilean side to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, strengthen the Belt and Road cooperation and cooperation in other areas, expand people-to-people and cultural exchanges, as well as actively contribute to enhancing the well-being of the two peoples and deepening relations between China and Latin American and Caribbean countries. The CPC is ready to strengthen exchanges and mutual learning of experience in party building and state governance, promote the construction of respective parties and national development and progress, and push China-Chile comprehensive strategic partnership for sustainable and stable development.

The Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on Further Deepening Reform Comprehensively to Advance Chinese Modernization was adopted at the session, scientifically planning the overall arrangement of further deepening reform around Chinese modernization. The Chinese side is willing to introduce the contents of the plenary session to Chilean political parties in detail, share experience and support each other in the process of realizing the modernization and development of respective countries, and unswervingly serve as each other's comprehensive strategic partner of equal treatment, mutual benefit and win-win results.

Cariola said, since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Chile and China, the two sides have strengthened cooperation in various fields on the basis of mutual respect.
