Latin America needs a better business environment to attract Chinese investment

Panama, Dec 9 (EFE / EPA) .- Latin America needs to create a "good" business environment to attract Chinese investments in multiple sectors, including agribusiness, which can make a leap driven by strategic partnerships between small businesses from both regions.

"A relationship of equals with the United States in which they respect our positions and we respect their positions, and also with China. I know that there is also a political issue to deal with.

It is difficult to make large investments in infrastructure in Latin America and then go out to compete in that market in China. Then that join venture that could be done between Chinese and Latin American businessmen is very important "
