路易斯·德·卡蒙斯是16世纪葡萄牙伟大的思想家和抒情派诗人,是推广葡萄牙语和民族传统文化的重要作家。为了纪念这位伟大诗人,并凝聚世界各地的葡侨,1977年,葡政府将6月10日定为国庆日。
卡蒙斯亦和中国有着特别的缘分。在那个时代,他是唯一一位到过中国的欧洲杰出诗人,他在这里坠入爱河并进行了葡萄牙文学史上极其重要的作品——《卢西塔尼亚人》的创作。卡蒙斯成为了连接两个遥远国度友谊的一条红线。
6月9日晚,在这个盛大纪念日的前夜,葡萄牙国庆日、卡蒙斯日暨葡侨日招待酒会在广州隆重举行。出席本次活动的有葡萄牙驻广州总领事安娜·科尔代罗(Ana Cordeiro),广东省人民代表大会常务委员会副主任张硕辅,广州市政府副秘书长吴林波,澳门特别行政区立法委员会议员高天赐(José Pereira Coutinho),亚太区葡侨委员会主席姗桃丝,多国驻穗总领事及代表,以及中葡企业家等政商界人士。

酒会以葡萄牙驻广州总领事安娜·科尔代罗的致辞拉开序幕。她在致辞中提到,自中葡正式建交以来,不仅中葡双边关系长久稳定,中国与葡萄牙乃至欧盟地区都保持着友好互信、互相尊重的原则。科尔代罗总领事表示,葡萄牙有志于“加强双边经贸联系,寻求更多合作渠道并为双方企业带来更多的发展机遇”。而除经贸外,葡方同样重视开拓中葡在学术、科技和文化领域的交流合作。葡萄牙驻广州总领事馆在华南地区多个高校及机构举行了纪念葡萄牙作家、诺贝尔文学奖得主若泽·萨拉马戈“追溯若泽·萨拉马戈的脚步2022”诞辰100周年展览、葡萄牙语日等活动,还与安哥拉及巴西驻广州总领事馆联合举办了葡语国家电影节。在科研方面,总领事馆促成了葡萄牙波尔图大学和南方科技大学的合作交流。在中葡友城结对的协商阶段,总领事馆还向中国政府提出了关于达成友好城市关系的建议,比如广州与丰沙尔以及长沙与布拉加的城市结对。

随后,广东省人民代表大会常务委员会副主任张硕辅上台致辞。他表示,中葡两国关系始终保持健康平稳发展,两国互为全面战略伙伴。中国是葡萄牙在亚洲最大的贸易伙伴,葡萄牙是中国在欧洲重要的合作伙伴。中葡合作敢为人先,对中欧合作发挥着积极的示范带动效应。2017年,葡萄牙驻广州总领事馆在穗设立,在推动两地的务实合作和友好往来中发挥了重要的桥梁纽带作用。2022年,中国-葡萄牙国家贸易投资合作中心在广州设立,这证明了粤港澳大湾区的光明前景、粤澳横琴深度合作区的利好政策吸引了越来越多葡萄牙及葡语国家企业前来投资兴业。同时,在总领事馆的积极推动下,两地人文交流方兴未艾,高校交流合作不断拓展。

葡萄牙是自16世纪以来第一个与中国建立稳定长足外交关系的欧洲国家。2005年全球战略伙伴关系协议的签署,更是给中葡关系注入了新的发展动力。近期,国家副主席韩正访问葡萄牙里斯本及广东省副省长吕玉印访问葡萄牙波尔图就是两国友谊很好的印证。
中葡在农业食品、铜、纸张、汽车零部件、装饰石和软木塞等传统领域的合作成绩斐然。近年来,双方在医药业、智慧城市、电商、人工智能组件、软件服务平台、高科技、绿色产业和旅游业的也碰撞出不少火花。中葡两国之间的货物交易量稳步增长,贸易合作逐步拓宽至多个领域。2022年,中葡贸易总额超过9亿美元。2023年第一季度,葡萄牙对华商品出口量同比增长14%。
交得其道,千里同好。卡蒙斯的中国之旅、绵延千年的海上丝绸之路、多年来致力于中葡合作的各界人士,都为两国关系不断踏上新台阶注入了巨大的能量。随着中葡贸易合作发展愈加平稳,文化、科研方面交流不断加深,这种坚定、互信的连结,必将继续为两国人民带来福祉,也必定会成为构建人类命运共同体的生动范例!
以下为英文报道:
Luís Vaz de Camões, a great lyric poet and intellectual of the 16th century, is a significant writer in the spread of the Portuguese language and Portuguese national traditional culture. To commemorate this poet and to gather together overseas Portuguese, the Portuguese government has designated June 10th as Portugal’s National Day.
As the only distinguished European poet China has witnessed in the era, Camões has a special connection with China. Here he fell in love, and here he wrote a part of his majestic epic poem, Os Lusiadas (The Lusiads), one of the greatest literary pieces in the history of Portuguese literature. Camões became a bridge between these two cultures.
On the night of June 9th, the eve of this grand festival, the reception of the Day of Portugal, Camões, and the Portuguese Communities was held in Guangzhou. The attendees include Ana Cordeiro, Consul General of Portugal in Guangzhou, Zhang Shuofu, Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress, Wu Linbo, Deputy Secretary General of Guangzhou Municipal People’s Government, José Pereira Coutinho, Deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Macao Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, Rita Botelho dos Santos, President of the Regional Council for Asia and Oceania of the Portuguese Communities, consul generals of multiple countries in Guangzhou, as well as representatives from other political departments and enterprises both in China and Portugal.
The reception commences with Ana Cordeiro’s address, in which she mentioned that the bilateral relations between China and Portugal are not only renowned for their longevity. Since the establishment of diplomatic ties, “the two countries have maintained a relationship of trust, cordiality, and mutual respect, both bilaterally and in the framework of the European Union and the People's Republic of China relations”. The Consul general also said that the Consulate General of the Republic of Portugal in Guangzhou “has been actively working to promote contacts between companies and entrepreneurs from both sides and assist them deepen understandings and further cooperate”. She also referred to their expectations of promoting cooperation initiatives in the academic, scientific, and cultural areas. To achieve this goal, the consulate has held various activities in multiple universities and institutes in South China, including the exhibition “Voltar aos passos que foram dados” to celebrate the centenary of the birth of the Nobel Prize in Literature, José Saramago, the celebration of World Portuguese Language Day, and a Portuguese-speaking cinema festival organized together with the Consulates General of Angola and Brazil. In regard to scientific cooperation, the consulate is analyzing cooperation and exchange initiative between the University of Porto and the Southern University of Science and Technology. Meanwhile, the consulate also has twin cities agreements, namely between Guangzhou and Funchal and between Changsha and Braga under negotiation.
The speech of Zhang Shuofu, Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress closely follows that of Ana Cordeiro. He said that China-Portugal bilateral relations have maintained sound and steady development since the start of diplomatic ties in 1979. With China being Portugal’s largest trading partner in Asia while Portugal is China’s important partner in Europe, China and Portugal become comprehensive strategic partners. China-Portugal cooperation features many “firsts” and sets a good example for other European countries to follow. The Consulate General of the Republic of Portugal in Guangzhou was established in 2017 and has been playing a very important role in promoting friendly exchanges and cooperation between Portugal and Guangdong ever since. 2022 also witnessed the opening of the China-Portugal National Trade and Investment Cooperation Center in Guangzhou, as the bright prospects and preferential policies of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, especially the Guangdong-Macao In-depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, attracted more and more enterprises from Portugal and Portuguese-speaking countries to invest here in Guangdong. Zhang Shuofu also expressed his appreciation of the efforts made by the Consulate General of the Republic of Portugal in Guangzhou that contribute to the flourishing people-to-people exchanges and collaboration between institutions of higher learning.
In a pleasant and warm atmosphere, the guests present raised their glasses to celebrate the Day of Portugal, Camões, and the Portuguese Communities and the long-standing friendship between China and Portugal. The fragrant and chill white wine, the smooth and mellow red wine, as well as the sweet and soft port, accompanied by a variety of authentic Portuguese food gave its guests a taste of the cultural customs of Portugal. This world-renowned wine country and foodie paradise shows the attendees both national and international sides of it.
Portugal was the first European State to establish, from the 16th century onwards, official and continuous diplomatic relations with China. The signing of the Global Strategic Partnership in 2005 has injected new impetus into China-Portugal relations. The recent visit of the Vice-President Han Zheng to Portugal and the visit of the Vice-Governor of Guangdong Province, Lv YyYin, to Lisbon and Porto this week are great embodiments of our strong friendship.
The collaboration between China and Portugal in various industries such as food and beverage, copper, paper, automobile components, ornamental stones, and cork led to fruitful results. In recent years, China and Portugal also benefit from the exchanges and cooperation within fields of the pharmaceutical industry, smart cities, e-commerce, components for artificial intelligence, software service platforms, high-tech, green industries and tourism. The volume of business between these two countries enjoys a stable increase, and the cooperation between has expanded to multiple areas. The overall value of trade between the two countries in 2022 amounted to more than 9 billion USD, and in the first quarter of 2023, exports of Portuguese goods to China mainland increased by 14% compared to the same period in 2022.
A partnership forged with the right approach defies geographical distance. Camões’ trip to China, the Maritime Silk Road that has extended for millennia, and people in all industries that have been dedicated to the collaboration between China and Portugal have all injected energy into the development of their bilateral relations. With the steady development of trade cooperation and deepening exchanges in culture and science between both sides, the supportive relations signifying our mutual trust will undoubtedly continue to benefit peoples in both countries and will become a vivid example of building a community with a shared future for all humanity!
