International trade is essential for the development and prosperity of countries’ economies, boosting their growth and strengthening their position in the global arena. This study analyzed trends in research production focused on relations and cooperation agreements between Colombia and China during the period 2014-2024. A qualitative approach was employed through a bibliometric review using the SCOPUS database. Exclusion criteria were established to avoid bias, resulting in a sample of 69 documents. The results revealed a growing interest in this topic, evidenced by an increase in citations worldwide. It was concluded that there is a need to enhance future research on the impact of international trade on the development of both economies.
