Given that China seeks foreign investment opportunities, Brazil's infrastructure development is a priority that could act as a lever to enhance efficiency. Brazil, however, with China's support, needs to be able to sell a wider range of products, not only agricultural and commodity goods but also industrial and manufactured products with higher value added. Earlier this year, CEBRI organized, in conjunction with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the"50 Years of the Brazil-China Relationship: Cooperation to a Sustainable World" conference, in which Brazilian Vice-President Geraldo Alckmin and the Chinese Ambassador to Brazil Zhu Qingqiao participated. Discussions on challenges such as multilateral system renovation, development finance innovation, and technology-driven sustainable growth are particularly relevant in this context, as the India-Brazil-South Africa troika within the G20, and China's active engagement could strengthen the BRICS' and emerging countries' influence on the global order.
