Recently, the official release of the Portuguese version of Excerpts from Xi Jinping's Expositions on Respecting and Safeguarding Human Rights and the Seminar on Enriching the Diversity of Human Civilization and Promoting the Development of the Human Rights Cause in the World, sponsored by the Chinese Foreign Languages Bureau and the Chinese Embassy in Brazil and organized by the Foreign Languages Press, the Chinese Consulate General in Rio de Janeiro and the American Communication Center of the Chinese Foreign Languages Bureau (Beijing Weekly), were held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The seminar was presided over by Li Yafang, director of the American Communication Center (Beijing Weekly) of China Foreign Languages Bureau, and attended by about 100 representatives from political, academic, cultural and media circles in China and Brazil. At the seminar, experts from China and Brazil exchanged views and carried out discussions on the diversity of human civilization, global human rights governance and China's human rights concepts and practices. Professor Mo Jihong, director of the CASS Institute of Law and director of the CASS Center for Human Rights Studies, gave a video speech at the seminar. In his speech, Professor Mo Jihong pointed out that the rule of law and human rights are inseparable from each other. Strengthening the protection of human rights by the rule of law is an important connotation of human rights theory in Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era, as well as the institutional basis for unswervingly taking the road of human rights development with Chinese characteristics. The official release of the Portuguese version of the book is an important embodiment of the world influence and dissemination of President Xi Jinping's exposition on respecting and safeguarding human rights, which is of great significance for promoting the continuous development of global human rights governance. In particular, China's successful experience in using the rule of law to protect human rights can provide the Portuguese-speaking world with Chinese solutions and Chinese wisdom in combining human rights theory with practice.
