拉美国家外交的独立性、自主性显著增强,多元化外交趋势不可逆转,且经济外交所占比重较大。拉美一体化方向多头并进,但进展缓慢,拉美小国、教皇对地区热点事务的斡旋产生了积极影响。美国重点推动美古关系正常化、哥伦比亚国内和平谈判等议题,并加强与太平洋联盟国家的关系。欧盟或西欧大国在拉美的影响力下降,但对拉美事务努力保持介入、参与姿态。阿根廷与英国的马岛主权争端一直悬而未决,且存在长期化趋势。拉美的地缘经济呈多元化,特别是向亚太地区倾斜。其中,发展对华关系已成为拉美的地区性共识。在多边领域,围绕联合国安理会改革、全球发展议程、气候变化等全球性治理议题,拉美日益扮演重要角色,但区内立场难以协调。
<<Latin American countries have greatly enhanced their diplomatic independence and autonomy by implementing diversified diplomatic strategies with more emphasis on economic affairs. There is a complex diversity of integration in this region,but progress has been slow. Small Latin American countries and the Pope have played a positive role in mediating regional affairs. The focus of the US policy has been to promote the normalization of relations with Cuba,support the peace talk in Columbia and strengthen the relationship with the Pacific Alliance. Despite declining clout in the region,the European Union and some Western European powers try to keep their influence in Latin America through intervention and participation. The geo-economic diversification of this region has been particularly inclined to the Asia Pacific region,and China has become an important strategic cooperation partner. In multilateral areas,Latin American countries have played an increasingly important role in the reform of the UN Security Council,global development agenda,climate change and other issues of global governance,but it is difficult to coordinate the positions in the region.
