Lula said that I am very honored and proud to lead a large delegation to visit China for the fourth time, which is my first visit to a country outside the Americas since I became president, which reflects Pakistan's love for China and attaches importance to the development of Pakistan-China relations. China is an indispensable and important force in the political, economic and trade, science and technology and other fields in the world today, and plays a vital role in promoting world peace and development. Brazil is committed to developing closer relations with China from the strategic perspective of promoting the establishment of a just and rational international order. I am very pleased to visit Huawei and meet with representatives of relevant Chinese enterprises, expressing deep admiration for China's development achievements in 5G and other fields, hoping to expand cooperation between the two countries in related fields, and welcoming Chinese enterprises to invest and cooperate in Brazil to help Brazil achieve digital transformation and low-carbon development. It is believed that deepening and expanding cooperation between Pakistan and China will help Pakistan "re-industrialize" process, help solve poverty alleviation and other problems, and better benefit the people. The Pakistani side is willing to close exchanges and cooperation with the Chinese side in education, culture and other fields to enhance mutual understanding between the two peoples. Pakistan and China have consensus and common interests on many major international issues, both sides defend multilateralism and international fairness and justice, and Pakistan is willing to strengthen strategic coordination with China within multilateral frameworks such as the G<> and BRICS, strengthen coordination and cooperation on international finance, climate change and environmental protection, and contribute to promoting developing countries to free themselves from the shackles of unfair rules and achieve more equitable and balanced development. I believe that the future of Pakistan-China relations will be even better.
