China, Brazil to strengthen ties, climate cooperation

For her part, Rousseff said she agrees with Xi's assessment of China-Brazil ties and is happy to see the positive progress achieved in major cooperation projects such as transportation and port construction, adding that she hopes the two sides could also expand cooperation on agriculture and logistics.

Brazil fully supports China's hosting of the 2016 Group of Twenty (G20) summit, Rousseff added.

On climate change, Brazil and China, both as developing countries, share similar historical circumstances and common interest, she said.

Brazil stands ready to enhance coordination and cooperation with China at the Paris conference, and urges all parties to stick to the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and achieve a goal conforming to the common interest of the international community, she said.
