China's top diplomat Wang Yi met with a high-level Brazilian delegation led by Rui Costa, chief of staff of the presidency, in Beijing on Thursday, highlighting aligned development strategies, highly complementary economies, and shared governance concepts between the two countries.
Wang, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, said that China and Brazil are the largest developing countries in the eastern and western hemispheres, respectively.
Under the new circumstances, the all-round strategic cooperation between China and Brazil not only serves the long-term and fundamental interests of the two peoples, but also sets a good example for the solidarity and coordination of countries in the Global South, Wang said.
China and Brazil are similar in their development strategies, and are highly complementary in their economies. In particular, the Communist Party of China and the Worker's Party of Brazil led by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva share similar governance concepts, said Wang, adding that it is the most valuable strategic asset between the two countries.
Costa said his country is willing to work with China to push for more tangible results through cooperation in various fields such as economy, trade, finance, infrastructure, green transformation, scientific and technological innovation, hoping the bilateral comprehensive strategic partnership will enter a new stage.
