-- On November 25, 1998, former Chinese President Jiang Zemin made a visit to Japan, which marked the first visit to this country by a Chinese head of state. The two sides issued the Sino-Japanese Joint Declaration, announcing the establishment of a partnership of friendship and cooperation for peace and development.

-- During Chinese President Hu Jintao's "warm spring" visit to Japan last May, the two sides issued a joint statement on all-round promotion of strategic and mutually beneficial relations, laying down a guiding principle for the long-term development of bilateral ties and ushering their relations into a new development phase.

China-Brazil Ties

China's exports to Brazil reached 16.63 billion dollars, an increase of 86.5 percent, while its imports from the South American nation surged by 77.5 percent to hit 25.9 billion dollars.
