"So it (Brazil) has products to export both to the rest of the world and to China, which is Brazil's main trading partner. And technology, the best that China has to offer, is being sent to Brazil through equipment and other technologies such as drones. So what I see is that Brazil-China relations still have a lot of room to grow, and we see that every day. I am mainly following this every day, that this partnership has a lot of room to grow and this will benefit the whole world, not only Brazil and China."
