On May 14, 2025, Member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) Wang Huning met in Beijing with President of Colombia Gustavo Petro, who is in China for the Fourth Ministerial Meeting of the China-CELAC Forum.

Wang Huning said, President Xi Jinping held a fruitful meeting with Gustavo Petro, where the two leaders jointly witnessed the signing of important documents for cooperation, including Colombia's participation in the Belt and Road Initiative. This year marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Colombia. China is ready to work with Colombia to fully deliver on the important common understandings reached between the two heads of state, pursue deeper and more substantive progress in the China-Colombia strategic partnership, and bring benefits to the people of both countries. China's CPPCC is ready to play an active role in this regard.

Gustavo Petro said, in today's turbulent and unstable world, all countries should join hands to safeguard peace and promote the common development of mankind. Latin American and the Caribbean (LAC) countries and China share a natural affinity, which is all the more reason for the two sides to stand together. Colombia is willing to strengthen cooperation with China in various fields and promote the continuous development of Colombia-China and LAC-China relations.

On the same day, Wang Huning met with Speaker of the Zimbabwean National Assembly Jacob Francis Mudenda in Beijing.

Wang Huning said that last year, President Xi Jinping had in-depth and friendly exchanges with President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who was in China for the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation and a state visit, providing new strategic guidance for the development of China-Zimbabwe relations. China is ready to work with Zimbabwe under the guidance of the important common understandings reached between the two heads of state and take the implementation of the summit outcomes as an opportunity to enhance political mutual trust, expand practical cooperation and jointly build a high-level China-Zimbabwe community with a shared future. China's CPPCC is ready to contribute to the development of bilateral relations.

Jacob Francis Mudenda said, Zimbabwe adheres to the one-China principle and sincerely thanks China for its valuable support. He expressed the hope that the two sides will continuously enhance governmental, people-to-people and other exchanges at all levels and deepen cooperation in areas such as energy, culture and digital economy. The Zimbabwean National Assembly is willing to enhance friendly exchanges with China's CPPCC and jointly contribute to promoting the economic and social development of the two countries.

Hu Chunhua and Wang Dongfeng, among others, were present at the meetings.
