She sincerely hopes that the Blue Book of Portuguese-speaking Countries will last for a long time and get better and better.

The authors are all experts who have long been committed to the study of national and regional issues. Many scholars are proficient in Portuguese and have a good understanding of the situation in the target country.In 2018, the overall economy of Portuguese-speaking countries was in a period of low-speed growth, the population continued to grow, poverty remained at a certain proportion, and the average unemployment rate was relatively high compared with other countries in the EU. The political situation in Portuguese-speaking countries has also undergone relatively large changes. For example, East Timor held an election, Brazil held a presidential election, and Portugal also held an election. In these countries, the overall social situation remains stable whether before, during, or after the election.
After the launch ceremony, a seminar themed on the economic and social development of Portuguese-speaking countries during the post-epidemic period was held.

Zhou Zhiwei, executive director of the Brazilian Research Center of the Institute of Latin American Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said in a speech that in the competition between China and the United States, maximizing economic interests and minimizing political risks are Brazil's mainstream ideas; anti-epidemic cooperation is the most urgent goal of Brazil's appeal to China; maintaining the efficiency of economic and w88 cooperation, and Brazil's exports to China is an important concern for Brazil in the short term; it is hoped that China will play a leading role in safeguarding multilateralism. Xu Yixing, director of the Portuguese Teaching and Research Section of the Department of Western Languages at Shanghai International Studies University, made a speech. Portuguese Ambassador to China Du Aojie pointed out when evaluating the relationship between China and Portugal:"Beijing, Shanghai and Shenyang have provided anti-epidemic materials to Portugal. I think what is more valuable than the aid materials is the sincere kindness shown by Chinese cities, companies and various institutions to Portugal, which truly reflects the true friendship between China and Portugal in adversity." China International Issues Jia Ding, a project officer at the International Liaison Office of the Institute, believes that the African Continental Free w88 Area agreement signed by Africa may be an opportunity for Angola's economic recovery. For Chinese domestic companies, Angola's better investment industries may be agriculture and some agriculture-related industries, such as fertilizers. An Chunying, executive deputy editor-in-chief of "West Asia and Africa" at the China African Research Institute, said that it is predicted that Mozambique's economy will turn from negative growth of 2.3% in 2020 to positive growth of 1.2% in 2021. This growth is mainly driven by two driving forces. One is that the growth rate of fixed asset investment will reach 22%, and the other is that import and export w88 will increase by 12.6%. Song Shuang, associate researcher at the Institute of World Economics and Politics, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that Guinea-Bissau's epidemic control is relatively good. The country has entered a state of emergency, and the overall infection rate is relatively low and the cure rate is relatively high. Tang Qifang, an associate researcher at the China Institute of International Studies, suggested that China and Timor-Leste should pay enough attention to and respond to the negative impact of Australian politicians, fully predict their malicious behavior, and make adequate responses. Professor Ye Nongong, Vice Chairman of the Macau Society of China at Jinan University, said that since the outbreak of the new coronavirus epidemic, Macau, as the "economic and w88 cooperation platform between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries", has turned crises into opportunities and actively worked to help build a new model of economic and w88 cooperation between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries, opening up new areas and new business opportunities for economic and w88 cooperation. During the free speech period, Li Kunze, executive director of the Portuguese-Chinese Cultural Exchange (Beijing) Company, and Zhu Lin, the general manager of the company, jointly talked about the issue of cultivating talents. They believed that what is currently lacking is not Portuguese language talents, but talents who are engaged in clerical work at the grassroots level and speak Portuguese, and need to cultivate compound talents. Shang Jinge, a reporter for Angola's El Pais, talked about the economic development issues of Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau, and believed that African Portuguese-speaking countries are all facing huge challenges in the post-epidemic period, but they still have opportunities to gradually change the difficult situation of their national economy and people's livelihood.
