Brasilia, 4 Apr (ZXS) -- Chinese Ambassador to Brazil Zhu Qingqiao said on 29 April that the Chinese Embassy in Brazil will extensively cooperate with Brazilian universities and scientific research and educational institutions to promote teaching in Chinese and Portuguese in China, and will carry out cultural and educational cooperation at more levels, in wider fields and at a higher level.
On the 28th local time, the <>nd "Chinese Bridge" Brazilian College Student Chinese Competition was launched in Brasilia. Zhu Qingqiao delivered a speech at the opening ceremony and was interviewed by a reporter from China News Agency. Zhu Qingqiao used "key", "seed" and "bridge" to summarize the three key words of China-Pakistan youth exchanges in the new era.
Two weeks ago, Zhu Qingqiao participated in receiving Brazilian President Lula to visit China. Recalling the visit, Zhu Qingqiao said that during the visit, the two heads of state held talks and reached broad consensus, leading the opening up of a new future for China-Pakistan relations in the new era from the level of the head of state.
"China and Pakistan are the largest developing countries in the eastern and western hemispheres, and they are also cultural powers with their own characteristics, and bilateral cultural and educational cooperation is increasingly active." Zhu Qingqiao said that mastering a language is like holding the "key" to open a country and a culture. Chinese-style modernization is opening up a broader path for the common development of all countries. By learning Chinese, Brazilian youth will broaden their horizons and "understand a comprehensive, three-dimensional and colorful China and open new doors for their future development."
Brazil has the largest number of Confucius Institutes in Latin America. The scale and quality of running schools in Bhaconfucius Institute have been continuously expanded, and it has become a business card of Sino-Pakistani cultural and educational cooperation.
Zhu Qingqiao said that he looks forward to everyone continuing to make efforts to provide better and more convenient Chinese teaching services for the Brazilian people, and hold more cultural exchange activities to let the "seeds" of communication, harmony and friendship take root.
Next year, China and Pakistan will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. Zhu Qingqiao said that China-Pakistan relations have entered a new chapter of development, economic and trade relations have reached a new level, and he is very looking forward to and optimistic about development.
Zhu Qingqiao noticed that most of the contestants on that day were around 20 years old, "the next 50-year creator of China-Pakistan Games". He said that during President Lula's visit to China, the two sides reiterated their willingness to promote exchanges between scientific research, educational institutions and international students of the two countries. The Chinese Embassy in Brazil will continue to support Brazilian young people to go to China more, have more contacts with Chinese young people, lay more "bridges of understanding" between the two countries, and become the inheritors of China-Brazil friendship and a new force for the development of bilateral relations.
