Eduardo Regalado Florido y Elda Molina Díaz

Coordinators

From the Venezuelan Association for Chinese Studies (AVECH) 委内瑞拉中国研究会 it is an honor to present the first volume of the Biblioteca AVECH and its Colección Estudios, the fruit of cooperation between our association and the Center for International Politics Research (CIPI, by its acronym in Spanish) in Havana, Cuba. Entitled China y sus Relaciones Internacionales [China and its International Relations] 中国和他的国际关系, a large group of academics and diplomats, mostly Cubans, who are members of institutions such as the Center for International Politics Research (CIPI), the Higher Institute of International Relations (ISRI, by its acronym in Spanish), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Center for International Economics Research (CIEI, by its acronym in Spanish) of the University of Havana, and the Center for World Economy Research, came together under the coordination of Eduardo Regalado Florido (CIPI) and Elda Molina Díaz (CIEI) in a renewed proposal on China's role in 21st-century international relations.

This year 2021 marks the first centenary of the Communist Party of China (CPC), as well as seventy-two years in power, guiding the destiny of the Chinese people. With this rich contribution, CEAAULA, AVECH, the Venezuelan section of the Latin American Association for Asia and Africa Studies (ALADAA), together with the aforementioned organizations, wish to contribute our grain of sand in one of the areas of greatest influence in recent studies on sinology. Finally, we reiterate our gratitude to Ph.D. Ruvislei González Sáez, from CIPI, for trusting us with this responsibility, and within AVECH, to professors and researchers Laura Torres Calderón, Ramón Alonso Dugarte, and José Gregorio Vásquez (Editor).
