Dual food-security forums in Sanya highlight China-Latin America cooperation
The second China-Latin America and the Caribbean Sustainable Food Innovation Forum concluded on Tuesday in Sanya, Hainan province, bringing together an international group of experts to discuss food security and scientific cooperation between the two sides.
At the forum's opening ceremony, the Yazhouwan National Laboratory signed cooperation memoranda of understanding with agricultural research institutions from Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Chile.
"It's good to strengthen Global South collaboration, and to integrate the experience and knowledge from both sides to tackle food security and sustainability issues," said Agustin Zsogon, a professor at Brazil's Federal University of Vicosa.
Santiago Signorelli, a biochemistry professor at the University of the Republic in Uruguay, said China possesses advanced technologies that can contribute to scientific work in Uruguay.
