Brazilian President Luiz Inacio "Lula" da Silva said on Friday that his country wants to develop a strategic partnership with China in trade and in other aspects of bilateral exchanges.

"China is a strategic partner of Brazil, not only in terms of the purchase and sales of products, but also in regard to science and technology, and many more areas," Lula said in an interview at the presidential palace of Planalto.

Lula, who visited Beijing in 2001 as the leader of the ruling Workers Party, said he will pay an official visit to China next year.

The president stressed that the continuing improvement of relations with countries of great potential, such as China, India and Russia, contributed to strengthening emerging nations' status in international negotiations and benefited every party involved.

"Only through the union of emerging nations will we have sufficient might to obtain more favorable agreements," Lula said.
