Beijing, 20 August 2024 (TDI): Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Thursday that China is ready to work with Brazil to take the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations as a new starting point to jointly promote the building of a China-Brazil community with a shared future.
Xi made the remarks in his congratulatory message to Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on the 50th anniversary of the diplomatic ties between the two nations.
China and Brazil, both major developing nations and key emerging markets, are like-minded good friends and partners that join hands and move forward together, Xi said.
Over the past half century since the establishment of diplomatic ties, regardless of changes in the global landscape, the relationship between the two nations has maintained stable development, with increasingly prominent, comprehensive and strategic international influence, he said.
While promoting the development and revitalization of their respective countries, China and Brazil have also played important roles in contributing to international peace, stability, and prosperity, he added.
Xi stressed that during Lula’s successful visit to China last year, the two sides reached an important consensus on piloting and opening a new future for China-Brazil ties in the new era.
China is ready to take the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties with Brazil as a new starting point to continuously strengthen the alignment of development strategies between the two nations, deepen exchanges and cooperation in different fields, add new dimensions of the era to the China-Brazil relationship, and work together to promote the building of a community with a shared future, he said.
For his part, Lula said over the past half century, the friendship between the two countries has been strengthened, and cooperation has become increasingly diversified.
At present, the two nations maintain cooperation in various fields and at all levels, to jointly build a more prosperous, peaceful and just world, he added.
