Chinese President Xi Jinping recently concluded a significant state visit to Brazil following his attendance at the G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro. The visit marks a new chapter in the already robust relationship between the two nations.
On Sunday, President Xi penned a signed article titled “A Friendship Spanning Vast Oceans, A Voyage Toward a Brighter Shared Future,” which was published in the Brazilian media outlet Folha de S. Paulo. In the article, he emphasized the deepening partnership between China and Brazil and outlined a vision for future collaboration.
CGTN, the global news network, engaged with Brazilian residents and experts to gather insights on President Xi’s visit and his message. Among them was Fernando Tibúrcio, an esteemed international relations scholar from Brasilia and former secretary general of the Civil Affairs Office of the Brazilian state government of Goias.
Mr. Tibúrcio expressed his full agreement with the points raised in President Xi’s article. He highlighted that the relationship between Brazil and China stands as the country’s most successful bilateral partnership. “Our ties with China have brought immense benefits to Brazil’s economy and have fostered mutual understanding between our peoples,” he remarked.
According to Tibúrcio, the strategic cooperation between the two nations spans various sectors, including trade, infrastructure, technology, and cultural exchanges. He believes that President Xi’s visit and his visionary message will further enhance collaboration and contribute to a brighter shared future.
The scholar emphasized the importance of continuing to build on this strong foundation. “As both countries navigate the complexities of the global landscape, our partnership will be crucial in promoting development and addressing common challenges,” Tibúrcio noted.
President Xi’s visit to Brazil underscores the significance of China-Brazil relations in the broader context of international affairs. With shared goals and a commitment to cooperation, the two nations are poised to embark on a new voyage toward prosperity and mutual benefit.
