China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that President Xi Jinping would attend the 19th G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro from November 17th to 21st, followed by a state visit to Brazil. As one of South America's most influential nations, Brazil collaborates actively with China under the BRICS framework and on broader international platforms, demonstrating shared responsibilities as two major countries.

The Chinese nationals and overseas Chinese in Brazil, with a history dating back over a century, currently number around 300,000, predominantly residing in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. They are active in sectors such as trade, dining, and retail. With frequent state visits and the upcoming G20 Summit, “the overseas Chinese anticipate deeper bilateral cooperation in areas such as economics, technology, and culture. Many hopes for more facilitations, such as visa-free policies,” said Jiang Youyang, Secretary-General of Associação Chinesa do Brasil.

A unique addition to this year's China-Brazil dialogue might be a new symbol of bilateral friendship. Jiang mentioned the possibility of pandas coming to Brazil as part of cultural exchanges, saying, "We hope to see pandas in Brazil soon as a symbol of China-Brazil friendship."

Established in 1980, the Chinese Association of Brazil focuses on safeguarding the rights of the Chinese community in Brazil. Its education division has recently advanced Chinese cultural promotion and Mandarin language education for second-generation Chinese in Brazil. "We organize numerous performances and cultural exchanges with artists from both countries each year, showcasing the vibrant cooperation between China and Brazil in culture," Jiang noted.

China is Brazil's largest trading partner, with bilateral trade reaching 181.5 billion US dollars in 2023. Over 300 Chinese enterprises operate in Brazil, spanning electric vehicles, infrastructure, and energy sectors. Jiang emphasized the promising future for cooperation in renewable energy, agricultural technology, and artificial intelligence. The Chinese Association of Brazil plans to enhance its role as a bridge between the two nations, fostering mutual understanding and providing comprehensive support for business.

巴西华人协会秘书长：中巴合作可聚焦再生能源、农业科技、人工智能

中国外交部宣布，国家主席习近平将于11月17日至21日赴里约热内卢出席二十国集团领导人第十九次峰会并对巴西进行国事访问。巴西作为南美极具影响力的国家之一，巴西不仅在“金砖国家”合作机制下与中国开展积极合作，在其他更广阔的国际舞台上，中巴之间也展现出共同的大国担当。

巴西华人群体历史悠久，现有约30万华人华侨，主要聚居在圣保罗、里约热内卢等城市，商贸、餐饮、零售业等领域均可见其身影。近年来，中巴两国国事访问频繁，今年两国又即将迎来G20峰会。对此，“巴西华人华侨普遍期待两国在经济、科技、文化等领域有进一步深化的合作，特别是希望能看到更多便利措施如免签政策的出台。”巴西华人协会秘书长蒋幼扬说。

此次中巴双方会晤，“最萌外交官”或许将为中巴友好交往增添新的纽带。蒋幼扬称，此次会晤或许会带来一些关于大熊猫的消息。“非常希望在不久的将来能看到大熊猫来到巴西，成为中巴友谊的象征。”他说。

巴西华人协会成立于1980年，其最重要的职能就是维护在巴华人华侨的合法权益。近年来，巴西华人协会教育组聚焦中国文化在巴西的推广和二代华裔的汉语教育工作，并取得了丰富的成就。“我们和中国、巴西的艺术团、艺术家们每年都有非常多演出和互动，还有各种融合两种文化的精彩节目表演。”蒋幼扬说，“这些都展现出中国在文化上和巴西的良好合作。”

当前，中国已成为巴西最大贸易伙伴，2023年双边贸易额达1815亿美元。中资企业在巴西活跃发展，当前巴西约有300家中资企业，涉及新能源汽车、基建、能源等领域。蒋幼扬表示，未来，两国在再生能源、农业科技、人工智能等领域合作前景广阔。巴西华人协会将积极发挥“中间人”作用，推动两国企业互访，促进双方市场、商业环境了解，为企业提供全方位支持。
