BEIJING, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping and Vice President of Brazil Michel Temer agreed to further promote bilateral relations during a meeting on Thursday afternoon.
The meeting was held after the third session of the China-Brazil High-level Coordination and Cooperation Committee, which was co-chaired by Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang and Temer in Guangzhou of south China's Guangdong Province.
Next year marks the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the People's Republic of China and Brazil.
Xi said he had met with Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff twice this year, during which they exchanged their visions on the development of bilateral relations and reached consensus on many important matters.
He said China will work with Brazil to maintain the close communication between state leaders, increase cooperation, and strengthen communication and coordination in global affairs. This will contribute to China-Latin America relations, unity and cooperation among emerging market economies, and the common interests of developing countries.
Xi added China supports Brazil as host of next year's BRICS summit. He also wished success for the 2014 Brazil World Cup.
Temer said Brazil is happy with the smooth development of Brazil-China strategic partnership.
He noted Brazil is willing to strengthen high-level contacts with China and advance bilateral cooperation in various fields through the mechanism of the China-Brazil High-level Coordination and Cooperation Committee.
He added that Brazil will also strengthen communication and cooperation with China within the framework of BRICS, promote global governance and jointly push forward the development of the relationship between Latin American countries and China.
