constantly push forward its partnership with Brazil from a
strategic point of view.
Wu, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's
Congress (NPC), China's top legislative body, made these remarks at
a meeting with visiting Brazilian Vice President Jose Alencar in
Beijing.
China and Brazil shared long-term history of contact, witnessed
development of strategic partnership and cooperation in all fields,
which resulted in substantial benefits for the two peoples, Wu

As two influential developing countries with reciprocal
economies, China and Brazil share the common aspiration to
deepening bilateral cooperation, he said.
The NPC has carried out sound exchange with the National
Congress of Brazil and will exert joint efforts to promote
bilateral ties in a bid to increase mutual understanding and
friendship between the two peoples and the two countries, Wu
noted.
Alencar hailed China's economic achievements and domestic and
foreign policies, saying Brazil will work along with China to
strengthen relations between the two countries and the two
parliaments.
Alencar is in Beijing for a six-day visit as guest of Vice
President Zeng Qinghong.
