On the evening of April 7, 2008, Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi and his Brazilian counterpart Celso Amorim held talks over the telephone on bilateral ties and issues of common concerns.

Amorim expressed support for Beijing Olympic Games and wished the upcoming event a great success. Brazil has remained steadfast in its "one-China" policy, and it believes that Tibet is an inalienable part of China, said Amorim.

Yang offered praise for Brazil's position on Beijing Olympics and the Tibet question on behalf of the Chinese government. As a developing country, China is ready to make concerted efforts with Brazil in promoting South-South cooperation and South-North dialogue as well as intensifying international cooperation, Yang added.
