Recently,  President Xi Jinping replied to letters from friendly personages from  all walks of life in Brazil, encouraging them to continuously contribute  to the China-Brazil friendship.

Xi  Jinping noted that he is glad to see that the China-Brazil friendship  has been passed on from generation to generation. Over the past 50 years  since the establishment of diplomatic relations, China and Brazil have  marched forward hand in hand and shared weal and woe, becoming good  friends spanning mountains and oceans. China is ready to work with  Brazil to continuously enrich the friendship between the two countries  with the imperatives of the new era, make China-Brazil relations a good  example of solidarity, coordination, common development and mutual  benefit between major developing countries, and make greater  contributions to the cause of peace and progress of mankind. He said  Brazilian friends are welcome to visit China more often to experience  the myriad sights of Chinese modernization. He expressed the hope that  people from all walks of life in the two countries will play a positive  role in promoting the continuous development of China-Brazil relations  and making the China-Brazil friendship flow unceasingly like the Yangtze  River and the Amazon River.
