Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to embark on a state visit to Brazil from November 17 to 21, marking a significant step in strengthening the partnership between the two nations. Central to this visit is the deepening cooperation in green development, a move that promises to reshape the environmental landscape of both countries.
As global leaders in emerging markets, China and Brazil share a common goal: fostering sustainable growth while combating climate change. The collaboration focuses on leveraging technological advancements, particularly in the field of new energy vehicles (NEVs), to drive this green transformation.
In an exclusive interview with CGTN Reporter Li Jingjing, Adalberto Felicio Maluf Filho, the National Secretary of Urban Environment and Environmental Quality at Brazil’s Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, shared his insights on this burgeoning partnership.
Maluf Filho highlighted the substantial impact of Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) in Brazil. He noted, “The vast imports of Chinese EVs have not only expanded Brazil’s new energy vehicle industry but have also been pivotal in our journey toward green transformation.” The influx of Chinese technology has accelerated Brazil’s adoption of NEVs, reducing carbon emissions and stimulating economic growth within the sector.
The secretary emphasized the mutual benefits of this cooperation, stating that it paves the way for technological exchanges, job creation, and sustainable urban development. As Brazil continues to modernize its infrastructure, the integration of Chinese EVs stands as a testament to the positive outcomes of international collaboration in addressing global environmental challenges.
President Xi’s upcoming visit is anticipated to further solidify commitments and explore new avenues for green development. Both nations look forward to a future where shared innovation and partnership lead to a cleaner, more sustainable world.
