The trade volume between China and Brazil continues to break new records, Luiz Augusto de Castro Neves, president of the Brazil-China Business Council, told Xinhua.
Brazil’s agricultural product exports to China also soared during the pandemic, which contributed to the hike in bilateral trade, said Milton Pomar, a Brazilian agricultural expert and consultant on China-Brazil institutional relations.
In the past decade, he added, the economic and trade cooperation between China and Latin American countries has also been enhanced.
