The launch ceremony of the Portuguese edition of Chinese President Xi Jinping's book on poverty relief, "Up and Out of Poverty", and a seminar on the governance of China and Brazil were held in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday.
Nearly 300 guests from China and Brazil attended the event. They noted that strengthening exchanges between the two countries on poverty alleviation and governance, while jointly exploring modernization paths suited to their respective national conditions, holds positive significance for the two countries as they embark on the next "golden 50 Years" of bilateral relations.
During the launch ceremony, the guests from both countries jointly unveiled the book and exchanged views on their countries' governance experience.
The book, which outlines Xi's perspectives on poverty eradication, local governance, reform, and development, introduces ideas related to Chinese modernization and emphasizes people-centered values, the internal driving force for reform and innovation, the independent path chosen by China, and the common values of win-win cooperation for humanity, said the organizers.
They added that the book is expected to provide new spiritual and practical inspiration that will foster exchanges and cooperation between China and Brazil in various fields, including poverty reduction and modernization efforts.
Titled "Up and Out of Poverty," the book is comprised of Xi's speeches and articles, as well as photos, from 1988 to 1990, when he was the Party chief of Ningde City in east China's Fujian Province. The book has now been published in nine foreign languages globally with Portuguese being the latest edition.
