Historic leap in Brazil-China relations
The Brazilian delegation participated in the 12th Meeting of the Financial Sub-Commission of the China-Brazil High-Level Coordination and Cooperation Commission. The meeting was led by China’s Vice Minister of Finance Liao Min and by Mathias Alencastro, Secretary for International Affairs at Brazil’s Ministry of Finance.
Liao Min stated that, under the strategic guidance of the leaders of both countries, Brazil-China relations have achieved a historic leap and that broad cooperation has continuously improved in quality and level.
“China is willing to work with Brazil to strengthen communication and coordination on macroeconomic policies, deepen practical bilateral financial cooperation, and enhance coordination and cooperation within multilateral mechanisms, so as to inject more certainty into a turbulent world through our own stable economic development.”
