These important events coincide with the celebration, in 2014, of the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Since 2009 China has been Brazil's biggest trading partner.

In 2013, bilateral trade reached US$ 83.

3 billion, with a Brazilian surplus of US$ 8.

7 billion.

Both countries maintain large flows of bilateral investments in trade, industry and services sectors.

In recent years, Brazil has been positioned as the fourth main destination of Chinese foreign investment in the world.
