The Communist Party of China (CPC) is ready to push forward its ties with
the Brazilian Workers' Party (PT), a visiting senior official of the CPC said in
Brasilia yesterday. He Guoqiang, member of the Political Bureau Standing
Committee of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks at a meeting with PT
Chairman Ricardo Berzoini. He spoke highly of the PT's important role in
developing the economy, promoting social progress and improving people's lives
in Brazil. He said the CPC attaches great importance to its friendly
exchanges with the PT, a party in Brazil's ruling coalition, and will further
its friendly relations with the PT based on the principles of independence,
equality, mutual respect and non-interference in each other's internal
affairs. Berzoini said the friendly ties between the PT and the CPC
constitute an important part of the PT's foreign relations and also an important
component of the strategic partnership between the two countries. Regular
exchanges between the two parties is conducive not only to the two parties
themselves, but also to the steady growth of Brazil-China ties, said
Berzoini. The Chinese official arrived in Brazil Friday for a goodwill visit
after his trip to Cuba and Trinidad and Tobago. His four-country tour will
also take him to Angola.
