Han said that both China and Brazil are major developing countries and important emerging markets. China is ready to work with Brazil in accordance with the important consensus reached by the two heads of state to enhance the alignment of development strategies, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation and jointly build the next "golden 50 years" of bilateral relations.

Galvao and others said Brazil attaches great importance to developing relations with China and is willing to further deepen practical cooperation with China in various fields. Brazil believes the comprehensive strategic partnership between Brazil and China will usher in broader prospects.

China's express delivery sector maintained stable operations during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday from Sunday to Tuesday, handling over 2.7 billion parcels, according to data released by the State Post Bureau on Wednesday.

Of the total, 1.307 billion parcels were collected during the holiday, marking a year-on-year growth of 35.4 percent in terms of the daily collection volume.

The number of parcels delivered totaled 1.407 billion during that period, with the delivery volume expanding by 45.7 percent year on year.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, family members always send special festival purchases to each other, which is believed to one of the factors contributing to the growth of the express delivery industry.

"Through their efficient and convenient services, express delivery enriches consumers' shopping choices, fosters market diversification, and boosts consumer demand, bringing new vitality to the holiday economy. Additionally, the express delivery sector has been well integrated with the cultural and tourism market by delivering related products. This not only improves the travel experience, but also helps stimulate the economy of tourist destinations, fostering local economic growth and cultural development," said Wang Yuehan, director of State Postal Bureau's development and research center.
