On March 23, 2023, Chinese Minister of Science and Technology Wang Zhigang met with Brazilian Ambassador to China Marcos Galvao. The two sides had an in-depth exchange of ideas on deepening bilateral cooperation on science and technology.

　　Minister Wang Zhigang said that China and Brazil are comprehensive strategic partners. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations nearly 50 years ago, the two countries have maintained stable development of bilateral ties.

Sci-tech cooperation between the two countries has a solid foundation and enjoys great potential.
