At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, President of the Republic of Ecuador Daniel Roy-Gilchrist Noboa Azín will pay a state visit to China from August 16 to 23, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson announced on Friday.
Noting that 2026 marks the 10th anniversary of the China-Ecuador comprehensive strategic partnership, the Chinese spokesperson said that China hopes the visit will help further consolidate political mutual trust between the two countries, carry forward the traditional friendship, and achieve new progress in the comprehensive strategic partnership for the benefit of the two peoples.
The spokesperson said Ecuador is an important Latin American country, and that the two sides have signed a document on Belt and Road cooperation and a free trade agreement, practical cooperation in various areas has been fruitful, and the friendship between the peoples has been deepening.
A release from Ecuador's Ministry of Foreign Affairs notes that the China leg serves as the first stop of his Asia tour, which will also take him to Vietnam and Singapore. The statement adds that the state visit to China is intended to deepen strategic ties and advance key initiatives spanning trade, investment, infrastructure, energy, technology and sustainable‑development cooperation.
Citing Ecuadorian foreign minister Roberto Kury, local media outlet Vistazo reported that the agenda would include Chinese investment interest in energy and mining, as well as Quito's aim of boosting its exports.
According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, the upcoming visit will be President Daniel Noboa's first state visit to China. It's also President Noboa's second visit to China following his initial trip in June 2025 for the Annual Meeting of the New Champions in North China's Dalian.
During Noboa's last China visit, he met with the Chinese leader in Beijing. The two heads of state jointly witnessed the signing of the cooperation plan between China and Ecuador on jointly promoting Belt and Road cooperation.
Ecuadorian digital outlet Primicias wrote that the trip will mark a new chapter in the bilateral relationship that Ecuador has consolidated with one of its key economic partners.
"In recent years, China‑Ecuador relations have maintained steady growth. This upcoming visit is expected to further consolidate high‑level political mutual trust between the two countries and forge top‑level consensus for further cooperation in the next phase," Pan Deng, director of the Latin America and Caribbean Region Law Center at the China University of Political Science and Law, told the Global Times on Friday.
Meanwhile, the visit will also help strengthen the bilateral institutional cooperation network, translate cooperation plans into concrete outcomes across niche sectors, and establish a multi‑tiered dialogue mechanism covering governments, enterprises and academia, Pan noted.
"Pragmatic cooperation between China and Ecuador has outgrown fragmented, ad hoc short‑term projects, entering a new era of long‑term cooperation that is institutionalized, regular and scalable," Pan added.
According to China's Ministry of Commerce, the China‑Ecuador Free Trade Agreement was signed on May 11, 2023 and officially entered into force on May 1, 2024. Ecuador thus became China's 27th free‑trade partner and the fourth for China in Latin America.
China has, for consecutive years, stood as Ecuador's second‑largest trading partner. Figures from China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs show that the bilateral trade volume stood at $17.33 billion in 2025, marking a 24‑percent year‑on‑year rise. For the January‑April period of 2026, bilateral trade totaled $6.28 billion, representing nearly 20‑percent year‑on‑year growth.
Pan noted that China‑Ecuador cooperation represents a typical model of complementary development. China boasts strengths in the market, production capacity, technology and capital, while Ecuador is endowed with high‑quality agricultural and marine resources, clean‑energy potential and a favorable Pacific geographic location. The two sides form a sound partnership based on mutual benefit and win‑win outcomes.
Specifically, Ecuador's agricultural produce, aquatic products and specialty resources steadily continue to enter the Chinese market. In terms of investment and infrastructure, Chinese players have long taken part in local livelihood projects and infrastructure building that align with Ecuador's actual development needs, he noted.
Ahead of the Ecuadorian president's state visit to China, Uruguayan President Yamandu Orsi travelled to China in February as Latin America's first head of state to visit China in 2026. During Orsi's visit, the two sides issued a joint statement on deepening their comprehensive strategic partnership, and signed more than 10 cooperation documents covering investment, trade and other fields.
Much like China‑Uruguay ties, evolving China‑Ecuador relations demonstrate that Latin American countries can pursue development‑oriented practical cooperation through independent diplomacy, without being forced to take sides or sacrificing their sovereignty and economic autonomy, said Pan.
Amid rising trade protectionism, geopolitical disruptions and heightened market uncertainties, the two sides uphold open cooperation and mutual benefit, offering the Global South a viable pathway for cooperation rooted in equality, mutual benefit, stability and no political strings attached, he added.
。 4月22日7时至9时，迎来本年度第二个龙年龙月龙日龙时。据介绍，今年共会出现3次龙年龙月龙日龙时，分别在4月10日、4月22日和5月4日的7时至9时，这是使用传统干支和生肖纪法来标记年、月、日、时形成的有趣现象。
二 | 转发收藏，愿你好运连连，万事兴“龙”！ 中国科学院紫金山天文台科普主管王科超介绍，甲乙丙丁戊己庚辛壬癸为十天干，子丑寅卯辰巳午未申酉戌亥为十二地支，它们排列成60个干支组合：甲子、乙丑……癸亥，以此记录年序与日序，如此循环往复。
三 | 我国农历至今仍沿用干支纪年、纪日，农历年按干支纪法和生肖纪法命名，比如今年为甲辰龙年；农历日按数序纪法和干支纪法命名。
四 | 王科超说，现在的农历以朔望月作为划分月份的标准，用数字来定月序，但在2000多年前，古人已采用十二地支来标记月份，并以冬至节气所在的农历十一月为子月，十二月为丑月，正月为寅月……以此类推，并配合天干使用。按照这种干支纪法，今年的正月十五也可称为：甲辰年丙寅月戊午日。
五 | 我国古代同样也用干支纪时，即将一昼夜分为十二时辰，以十二地支循环纪时。对应到一天的24小时，两个小时为一个时辰，子时为23时至1时，丑时是1时至3时……亥时对应21时至23时。 “我国古人又以十二生肖对应各个地支，今年为甲辰龙年，所谓龙月、龙日、龙时即为辰月、辰日、辰时。”王科超说，2024甲辰龙年的龙月里有3个龙日，因此将出现3个“龙年龙月龙日龙时”，分别在4月10日、4月22日和5月4日的7时至9时。 龙年龙月龙日龙时就是辰年辰月辰日辰时 了解了干支纪年和天干地支的搭配方法，就可以推算出龙年龙月龙日龙时。排在第五位的龙和辰对应，每60年有5个龙年。
六 | 龙月就是在中国传统历法中一年也分为12个月，但是这个月是以朔望月作为标准来划分的。在2000多年前，古人就确定以冬至节气所在的月为子月依次排序，至下一年冬至所在月再为子月，闰月不计。秦汉以来，中国传统的农历将寅月作为正月即一月。所以冬至所在的子月是农历的十一月，因此将月份地支与生肖相配的话，一年中农历三月为辰月就是龙月。
七 | 龙日是怎么回事？中国古代排列日期除了用123这样的数字计日，也使用干支计日的办法，这样每60日就有5个辰日，也就是5个龙日。2024甲辰龙年的龙月里有3个龙日龙时，分别在4月10日、4月22日和5月4日的7时至9时。
