The launch ceremony of the photo album "Beautiful China, Beautiful Brazil" and the accompanying photo exhibition was held on Monday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The photo album themed on the friendly collaboration between China and Brazil, features over a hundred photographs, highlighting the natural beauty, culture, economic and trade exchanges, cultural interactions and cooperative achievements between the two nations.

Chinese ambassador to Brazil Zhu Qingqiao wrote in the forewords for the album that the photo album vividly captures the magnificent scenery, diverse cultures and social traditions of both countries, reflecting the fruitful outcomes of their pragmatic cooperation and vibrant people-to-people exchanges. Zhu said he hoped that the collaboration in all sectors with Brazil would inject fresh energy into developing bilateral ties.

Brazilian ambassador to China Marcos Galvao highlighted in the foreword that the album demonstrates how China and Brazil are connected through their similarities and differences. Despite the many differences in the two nations' history, culture and geography, the two sides have jointly explored a path to a more prosperous future through dialogue and the development of partnerships, he said.

Gao Anming, editor-in-chief of the China Foreign Languages Publishing Administration, delivered a speech at the launch ceremony, emphasizing that over the past 50 years, China and Brazil have achieved significant cooperation in various fields, injecting new vitality into their economic and social development and bringing tangible benefits to their peoples.

Each photo in the album and exhibition reflects the deep friendship and shared memories of the Chinese and Brazilian people, highlighting the diverse natural landscapes and cultural scenes of both countries, as well as their common aspirations for a better life, said Gao.

Tia Ju, the second vice-president of the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro and president of the Brazil-China Parliamentary Front, remarked that since the establishment of diplomatic relations, China and Brazil have strengthened their ties, achieving remarkable results in key areas such as economy, culture and education. In this process, cultural exchange has played a crucial role in helping to foster mutual understanding and trust between our two countries, allowing Brazilians and Chinese to better appreciate the richness and beauty of each other's cultures, she said.

Henrique Nobrega, president of the Brazil-China Friendship Association, stated that the photo album not only showcases the landscapes and the peoples of China and Brazil but also conveys an important message: their friendship transcends geographical and cultural boundaries. This deepening partnership is not just about trade but also strategic collaboration in technology, renewable energy, and sustainable development, Nobrega noted.

The beauty of Brazil's tropical rainforests and China's majestic mountains reminds us of our shared goals of sustainable development and environmental protection, he said, adding that this album underscores in an interconnected world, no country can prosper alone. The solidarity between Brazil and China is a commitment to shared prosperity and a future global community based on peace and unity, he said.

Over 150 representatives from politics, media, think tanks, culture and business from both countries attended the launch ceremony.

The event was guided by the Information Office of the State Council of China and hosted by the China Foreign Languages Publishing Administration and the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro.
