习近平和巴西总统卢拉向中巴两党第七届理论研讨会致贺信

4月9日，中国共产党和巴西劳工党第七届理论研讨会在北京举行。中共中央总书记、国家主席习近平和巴西劳工党名誉主席、总统卢拉分别向研讨会致贺信。

习近平在贺信中表示，2022年10月，中国共产党第二十次全国代表大会明确了中国共产党的中心任务是团结带领全国各族人民全面建成社会主义现代化强国、实现第二个百年奋斗目标，以中国式现代化全面推进强国建设和中华民族伟大复兴。2023年1月巴西劳工党再次执政后，大力推动“加速增长计划”“新工业计划”等发展战略，致力于实现可持续全面发展。此次中巴两党以“加强执政党建设，探索现代化道路”为主题进行理论研讨恰逢其时，对加强执政党能力建设、探索符合自身国情的现代化道路具有重要意义。

习近平指出，今年是中巴建交50周年、中国共产党同巴西劳工党建立关系40周年。站在新的历史起点上，中国共产党愿同巴西劳工党深化治国理政经验交流互鉴，推动各自党的建设和国家发展进步，为引领新时代中巴关系向前不断发展，为推动构建人类命运共同体作出更大贡献。

卢拉在贺信中表示，今年巴中将迎来建交50周年，这是双方朝着构建命运共同体目标开展交流合作、深化友谊的50年。去年，我与习近平总书记共同推动两国全面战略伙伴关系迈上新台阶。巴中关系不仅对两国而且对全世界都很重要。我们将通过合作巩固联合国等全球治理传统机制，同时加强“77国集团和中国”、金砖国家和中拉论坛、“基础四国”等南南合作关键机制。巴西劳工党与中国共产党的关系是两国关系的重要组成部分。此次劳工党高级干部考察团访华并出席中国共产党和巴西劳工党第七届理论研讨会，目的是同中共开展治国理政经验交流，并就共同感兴趣的议题进行深入探讨和合作。我坚信，我们双方一定能找到更多汇合点和合作机遇。巴中两党、两国政府和两国人民之间的交流将更加密切和卓有成效。

Xi, Lula send congratulatory letters to seminar involving CPC, Workers' Party of Brazil

Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and Chinese president, and Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, honorary president of the Workers' Party of Brazil (PT) and Brazilian president, have sent congratulatory letters separately to the 7th theory seminar of the CPC and the PT held in Beijing on Tuesday.

In his letter, Xi said that the 20th National Congress of the CPC in October 2022 made it clear that the Party's central task is to lead the Chinese people of all ethnic groups in a concerted effort to realize the Second Centenary Goal of building China into a great modern socialist country in all respects and to advance the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on all fronts through a Chinese path to modernization.

Xi noted that after the PT returned to power in January 2023, it had vigorously promoted development strategies and stayed committed to achieving sustainable and comprehensive development of Brazil.

He said the seminar focused on strengthening the ruling party building and exploring the path to modernization, which is timely and of great significance to strengthening the capacity building of the ruling parties of the two countries and exploring the modernization paths suited for their own national conditions.

Xi also noted that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the China-Brazil diplomatic ties and the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the CPC-PT relations.

The CPC is willing to deepen exchanges and mutual learning with the PT on governance, and promote party building and national development, so as to make greater contributions to the continuous development of China-Brazil relations in the new era and the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, Xi said.

Lula said in his letter that last year, he and General Secretary Xi had worked together to take the two countries' comprehensive strategic partnership to a new level.

Brazil-China relations are important not only to the two countries but also to the whole world, Lula said, noting that the two sides will work together to consolidate traditional mechanisms of global governance such as the United Nations, while strengthening key mechanisms of South-South cooperation such as the Group of 77 and China, BRICS, the China-CELAC Forum and the BASIC countries.

Lula said that the relationship between the PT and the CPC is an important part of the relationship between the two countries. The visit to China by the delegation of senior Workers' Party officials and their attendance at the seminar aimed to exchange experience on governance and conduct in-depth discussions and cooperation with the CPC on issues of common interest.

He expressed the confidence that the exchanges between the two parties, the two governments and the two peoples will be closer and more fruitful.
