The world today is at a critical juncture of historical transition. "As major developing countries, it is more important than ever for Pakistan and China to strengthen solidarity and cooperation." Marcio Bohmann, president of the Lula Institute in Brazil, pointed out that, especially in the process of post epidemic economic recovery, the volume of trade between Brazil and China rose against the trend, which not only demonstrated the development resilience and vitality of emerging market countries, but also added confidence and hope to boost the global economy. He said that in the context of the growing political mutual trust between Pakistan and China, the complementary economic structure advantages and the deepening people to people and cultural exchanges, the Lula Institute will continue to deepen cooperation with contemporary Chinese and world research institutes, explore new growth points for bilateral knowledge and information sharing, and help the bilateral relations to a higher level.

Yu Yunquan, President of the Institute of Contemporary China and the World Studies, said that in the future, Chinese and Pakistani scholars should further deepen cooperation, do a good job in basic research, practical research and innovative research related to Chinese studies, tie the ties between the two countries with academic exchanges, and enhance the momentum and vitality of the two countries in global development. Contemporary Chinese and World Research Institutes will continue to work closely with the Lula Institute, unblock the channels for dialogue, communication and joint research between Chinese and Pakistani think tanks, universities and scientific research institutions, and launch high-quality public knowledge products in rich forms.

According to the Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report, China and Brazil have close trade and investment cooperation. China has maintained its position as Brazil's largest trade partner for many years in a row, and Brazil is also China's largest investment destination in Latin America. Fu Xin, Distinguished Professor of the School of Public Administration of Tsinghua University and former Minister of the Ministry of Tourism of Brazil, pointed out that in the face of an increasingly severe global development environment, Brazil and China should, under the framework of a dual multi border framework, work together to make a positive voice in safeguarding the interests of emerging economies and developing countries, and strive to solve the problems of the north-south gap, recovery and differentiation, and technological gap, so as to promote the construction of a more inclusive international economic order.

"Economic and trade exchanges are the ballast and stabilizer of China Pakistan friendly relations, and also an important channel for the two countries to benefit people's livelihood and promote prosperity." Niu Haibin, director of the Foreign Policy Research Institute of the Shanghai Institute of International Studies and deputy secretary-general of the Latin American Society of China, said that in the future, the two countries need to continue to strengthen cooperation in direct investment, enterprise construction, information sharing and other aspects, continue to improve the level of substantive bilateral openness, work together to overcome the difficulties and challenges of industrial restructuring and technological transformation, and truly enable the healthy economic development of the two countries.

Javier Waddell, associate professor of international relations at the Catholic University of Minas Gerais, Brazil, believes that the spread of unilateralism and zero sum thinking has seriously hindered the technological development and industrial upgrading of southern countries. Both China and Brazil are active advocates and deep participants of South South cooperation. The two countries should further promote South South mutual assistance in the field of science and technology, launch North South dialogue in the economic field, and build a more equitable, just and open international economic and technological development system.

Experts at the meeting believed that, in keeping with the development of the times, China and Pakistan should deepen cooperation in scientific and technological innovation and the digital economy.

Chinese enterprises have also shifted their investment in Brazil from traditional fields such as agriculture, energy, infrastructure to high-tech digital fields. Yang Xinhua, deputy editor in chief of China Internet News Center, said that China and Pakistan should seize the opportunities of technological and industrial change, constantly release the potential of bilateral cooperation, and achieve cooperative development of higher level, higher quality and higher efficiency. Elias Jabul, a professor in the Department of Economic Science of Rio de Janeiro State University in Brazil, believes that scientific and technological innovation plays an important role in the economic relations between Brazil and China, and the China Brazil Earth Resources Satellite Project is a landmark achievement in the field of green development cooperation between the two countries. As pioneers of economic transformation and upgrading in developing countries, Brazil and China should expand cooperation and capture new opportunities in biomedical, quantum communications, clean energy, high-speed rail construction, etc., Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation reported.

The digital economy has brought a strong impetus to the post epidemic recovery. Brazil has a market capacity and trade potential for digital development.
