Hey everyone! Big news 📰🤝: China’s foreign minister Wang Yi just sat down with Portugal’s State and Foreign Affairs Minister Paulo Rangel in Beijing.
Why it’s a big deal? This year marks two major milestones: 80 years since the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War 🎖️, and 20 years of the China-Portugal comprehensive strategic partnership 🎉.
Wang Yi, who’s a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of the Chinese mainland Central Committee, thanked Portugal for sending reps to join the commemorations. He also highlighted the importance of Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro’s upcoming visit to Beijing as the perfect chance to amp up cooperation.
On the flip side, Rangel praised China’s prep work for Montenegro’s trip and stressed that Portugal values this friendship. He called for stronger teamwork in global forums like the United Nations, backing the Global Governance Initiative to tackle international challenges together 🌐✨.
Bottom line? Both sides are all set to take their friendship up a notch—think deeper business collabs, cultural exchanges, and joint efforts on climate, tech, and more. It’s like your favorite collab album dropping new tracks—only on a global scale 🎶🌏.
Stay tuned as we keep an eye on PM Montenegro’s visit and what new partnerships pop up next! 👀
