中国与葡语国家关系源远流长。自1974年中国与几内亚比绍建交起,中国陆续与葡语国家建立合作发展关系,建立了长期稳定的双边合作机制。2003年成立的中国—葡语国家经贸合作论坛(澳门)开启了中国与葡语国家多边合作机制。15年来,中国与葡语国家合作机制日趋成熟,政府间的合作更为密切,高层互访密集频繁,贸易投资增长显著,合作领域不断拓宽,合作成效逐步彰显。展望未来,中国与葡语国家多双边合作的发展在“一带一路”倡议引领下将迎来更多机遇,澳门特区作为连接中国与葡语国家之间的纽带,其平台作用将愈发凸显。
China and Portuguese-speaking countries enjoy a long history of friendship. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Guinea-Bissau in 1974,China has gradually built and developed partnerships with Portuguese-speaking countries and set up long-term and stable bilateral co-operation mechanisms. The Forum for Economic and Trade Co-operation between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries (Macao),launched in 2003,has embarked on a multilateral co-operation mechanism between China and Portuguese-speaking countries. The past 15 years have witnessed the increasingly mature cooperation mechanisms,closer intergovernmental co-operation,frequent exchanges of high-level visits and remarkable growth in trade and investment between China and Portuguese-speaking countries. Thus,fields of cooperation have been widened and achievements began to manifest itself. Going forward,the development of multi-bilateral co-operation between China and Portuguese-speaking countries will embrace more opportunities through the Belt and Road Initiative. As a connecting platform between China and Portuguese-speaking countries,the Macao Special Administrative Region (Macao SAR) will play an even more prominent role.
