On April 25, 2022, Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu and Brazilian Deputy Foreign Minister Márcia Donner Abreu held the fifth meeting of the Political Subcommittee of the China-Brazil High-level Coordination and Cooperation Committee via video link.

Ma Zhaoxu said, China and Brazil are both major developing countries and emerging market economies. Since the fifth meeting of the China-Brazil High-level Coordination and Cooperation Committee in 2019, the two countries have kept close high-level exchanges, deepened practical cooperation constantly and maintained sound communication and coordination in the multilateral arena, demonstrating strong resilience and vitality. The two sides should further implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, push for sustained and in-depth development of the China-Brazil comprehensive strategic partnership and safeguard the common interests of the two countries and other developing countries at large.

Abreu said, the Brazilian government attaches great importance to developing relations with China and the high-level exchanges between the two countries have maintained a sound momentum in recent years. Brazil is willing to work with China to further deepen the comprehensive strategic partnership between Brazil and China, push bilateral cooperation to a higher level and better benefit the two peoples. Brazil welcomes the Global Development Initiative put forward by China, actively supports China in hosting the 14th BRICS Summit, and is willing to work with China to ensure the full success of the sixth meeting of the Brazil-China High-level Coordination and Cooperation Committee.

The two sides also exchanged views on international and regional issues of common concern.
