Han said that both China and Brazil are major developing countries and important emerging markets. China is ready to work with Brazil in accordance with the important consensus reached by the two heads of state to enhance the alignment of development strategies, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation and jointly build the next "golden 50 years" of bilateral relations.

Galvao and others said Brazil attaches great importance to developing relations with China and is willing to further deepen practical cooperation with China in various fields. Brazil believes the comprehensive strategic partnership between Brazil and China will usher in broader prospects.

The value of import and export cargo shipped on the shipping route between Shanghai in China and Chancay Port in Peru has reached 5.57 billion yuan (about 790 million U.S. dollars), Shanghai Customs said on Friday.

The route has handled 205,000 tonnes of goods since its launch a year ago.

The shipping route became fully operational when the first container vessel from Chancay arrived at Shanghai's Yangshan Port on Dec. 18, 2024, following the official opening of Chancay Port the month before.

The route cuts sea transit times between China and Peru from 35 to 40 days to just 23 days, reducing logistics costs by more than 20 percent. Driven by the route, Shanghai's imports and exports with Peru registered a 40.3 percent year-on-year increase in the first 11 months of 2025.

Perishable goods such as avocados and blueberries are transported via a green channel established at Shanghai's Yangshan Customs, which ensures expedited clearance.

The route has also facilitated automotive exports.

Chancay Port, a deep-water hub and South America's first smart green port, is a flagship Belt and Road cooperation project between China and Peru.
