Description
Summary:With its special geographical location of the coast of the South Atlantic Ocean, Brazil has the state-of-the-art deep-water offshore oil&gas technology, prominent regional industrial clustering, and is vulnerable to the change of polar climate. Under this context, the Brazilian government has attached great importance to the linkage effects of ocean and polar development on its international status, government governance, industrial economy and social stability. In recent years, with the help of professional management and decision-making institutions such as the Inter-ministerial Commission for Marine Resources, Antarctic Affairs Committee, and the Brazilian Navy, the Brazilian government has promulgated a series of policies, plans, laws and regulations related to ocean and polar strategies, aiming to comprehensively promote the top-level deployment, enlarge the research fields, and strengthen the political connotation in global ocean and polar science, technology and affairs. In particular, the completion of the Ferraz Antarctic Scientific Research Station has laid an absolute foundation for Brazil's participation in Antarctic affairs. On the basis of learning from the experience and lessons of Brazil′s marine and polar affairs, especially the successful experience of deepwater oil and gas development technology, China can continue to strengthen deep cooperation with Brazil and actively seek mutual strategic support between the two countries in the development of marine and polar science and technology. Establishing a harmonious and stable bilateral long-term cooperation mechanism for scientific and technological innovation between China and Pakistan is more conducive to the comprehensive development of China′s marine and polar scientific and technological innovation.
