April 17, referenced by the Reference News website. According to a report on April 15 by Brazil's 247 News Network, the cities of Salvador in the state of Bahia and Santana in the state of Amapa have officially been incorporated into the new direct shipping route network of Gaolan Port in Zhuhai. At the launch ceremony held on April 14 in Brasilia, government officials from both China and Brazil jointly witnessed this moment. An countdown ceremony for the departure of the Gaolan Port freighter bound for Brazil was also held at the event site.
The report stated that Dino Antunes Dias Baptista, an official from the Brazilian Ministry of Ports and Airports, emphasized that the new route marks closer integration and fewer trade barriers.
The greatest advantage of this route is that it can reduce the transportation time by up to 30 days and save more than 30% of logistics costs. The freighter will depart from southern China, passing through the Strait of Malacca and the Cape of Good Hope to reach the ports of Santana and Salvador, finally entering the economic hinterland of Brazil.
It was reported that this new shipping route is considered a significant advancement in the logistics integration between China and Brazil, which will enhance bilateral trade efficiency and strengthen the economic and strategic ties between China and Brazil. (Compiled by Han Chao)
