The central banks of China and Brazil discussed measures to support companies in both countries opening local-currency accounts during the China-Brazil Financial Strategic Cooperation Working Group Meeting in Beijing on Tuesday, according to the People's Bank of China (PBOC).
The central banks also explored expanding the use of their bilateral currency swap and studied the the listing of direct trading between the Chinese yuan and the Brazilian real.
The Chinese side welcomes the Brazilian government's issuance of sovereign panda bonds in China and expressed hope that more high-quality Brazilian companies would issue bonds in the Chinese market, while also supporting a pilot of China-Brazil Bond Connect scheme and encouraging the China-Brazil fund to actively explore investment opportunities in Brazil, said the PBOC.

An endangered Indochinese gray langur has been captured on infrared camera in a nature reserve in southwest China's Yunnan Province, highlighting continued improvement in the area's biodiversity and conservation efforts.
Reserve staff recently discovered the footage while reviewing camera-trap data collected in a provincial nature reserve in Mojiang Hani Autonomous County, Pu'er City.
The video shows the langur climbing onto vine-covered branches with its long tail hanging below before pausing to scan its surroundings. After confirming the area was safe, the animal relaxed and remained perched in the forest canopy.
The Indochinese gray langur is listed as an endangered species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List and is under China's first-class state protection.
Local authorities say strengthened habitat protection and management in recent years have steadily improved the local ecological environment. In addition to the rare langur, other protected wildlife, such as slow lorises, silver pheasants and red junglefowl, have also been recorded in the reserve, reflecting the recovery of local biodiversity.
