Ambassador applauds growing Beijing-Brasilia relationship

China's passion for the World Cup and this year's host country has astounded Brazil's top envoy to China, who believes that the growing bond between the countries will be further strengthened by President Xi Jinping's upcoming visit to the South American nation.

"You will be amazed by the number of agreements that will be signed between governmental agencies and companies during the visit," Brazilian Ambassador to China Valdemar Carneiro Leao said. "It is a long list."

The ambassador said China will announce investment deals in various fields, including capital products and manufacturing, during the Brazil visit, while Brazil expects to sell 60 aircraft to China.
