On February 20, 2024, Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu met with Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Noting that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Brazil, Ma Zhaoxu said, China is willing to take this opportunity to work with Brazil to follow through on the important common understandings reached between the two heads of state, further synergize development strategies, deepen cooperation in various fields and take China-Brazil relations to a new level.
