China-Portugal ties set to help fuel East-West cooperation
Portuguese relations are poised to tap academic, cultural and other exchanges for growing East-West cooperation in the Belt and Road Initiative drive, environmental sustainability, anti-pandemic measures and other efforts toward shared development, according to the latest international analysis.
Close contacts have been established and continuously strengthened in various fields between the two sides, with Portugal also the first European country on the Atlantic coast to sign a memorandum of understanding and cooperation on the BRI with China, said Wang Linggui, vice-president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
Joint research work on green development, ecological protection and climate change, as well as people-to-people and cultural exchanges to discuss other global issues, such as economic recovery, public health governance and poverty reduction, will help strengthen the cooperation, he said.
