At present, due to the delay in the epidemic of new crown pneumonia, the global economic recovery, the tight geopolitical situation, and the frequent factors of the extreme weather of multiple countries, the international grain prices have risen sharply, the food supply is tight, and the world's grain security is facing severe challenges. According to the latest report of the United Nations, in 2021, 828 million people around the world were affected by hunger, and the cumulative increase of 150 million since the new crown epidemic. According to this trend, the "zero hunger" goal in the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda may not be achieved as scheduled, becoming a global issue that affects the fate of human beings. How to solve the "eating" problem of people all over the world is the common concern of the international community.

China is a 1.4 billion population country. It is always a top priority to solve the problem of good food. In 2021, China's grain output reached 1365.7 billion kg, a record high, stabilizing more than 1.3 trillion kg of consecutive years, and is the world's largest food production country and the third largest food exporter. As the largest developing country in the world, China has rely on its own power to achieve basic self -sufficiency in food, and the quality of life and nutrition of residents has been significantly improved, which has made positive contributions to maintaining the security of the world and promoting common development.

At the same time, in the face of increasingly prominent food security issues, China is based on the community of human destiny and combines the world's conditions to contribute Chinese wisdom to ensure international food security. In July 2022, the State Councilor and Foreign Minister of Wang Yi proposed an eight -o'clock initiative of China on international grain security cooperation at the Foreign Minister of the Guto Group of the 20th Group. The first is to support the coordination of the United Nations Center. Strengthen the role of the United Nations, support the work of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, Agricultural Fund, and the World Grain Program; the second is to implement export restrictions on the implementation of humanitarian grain procurement carried out by the World Food Program; The convenience of agricultural products and input products can be facilitated to enter the international market; fourth, the main food production and net export countries release their own export potential, reduce trade and technical barriers, control the use of food energy, and alleviate the tension of the market; Trade emergency measures should be short -term, transparent, targeted and appropriate, and meet the rules of the WTO; sixth, support international agricultural research and negotiation organizations and agricultural scientific and technological innovation cooperation in various countries to reduce the restrictions on high -tech exchanges; seventh to reduce food loss. China has held an international grain damage reduction conference, and is willing to jointly implement the consensus consensus; eighth is to help developing countries in terms of funds, technology, and markets to improve the ability of grain production, collection and storage, and damage reduction.

China and Brazil are the largest developing countries in the East and West Hemisphere, respectively, shoulders the responsibility of maintaining food security and promoting common development. In recent years, China -Pakistan relations have continued to move forward steadily, and pragmatic cooperation in various fields, including agricultural cooperation, has achieved fruitful results. In May 2022, at the sixth meeting of China -Pakistan High -level Coordination and Cooperation Committee, relevant departments of the two countries reached consensus on promoting the development of agricultural products, deepening cooperation in the agricultural field, and incorporating the list of results. China -Pakistan is highly complementary and mutually dependent in agricultural resources, superior products, market demand, and technological integration. It is a natural partner of agricultural cooperation. China -Pakistan Agricultural cooperation has taken a deep and practical, not only to benefit the people of the two countries, but also to ensure that international food security play a stronger "cockpit stone" role.

China is willing to continue to strengthen cooperation and coordination with the international community including Brazil. While fighting the epidemic, it has made unremitting efforts to maintain global food security and make new contributions to the construction of a community of human destiny.
