刚刚过去这一周，刚从澳洲飞回来没几天，又前往葡萄牙首都里斯本参加欧中商务论坛。这次欧中商务论坛，中国与全球化研究中心是主办单位之一，我在里面除了要参加开幕式，参加一场论坛，还要在论坛闭幕晚宴上作为两位主要演讲人之一发表评论。闭幕晚宴的首要发言嘉宾是葡萄牙语系的非洲大国莫桑比克总理Luísa Dias Diogo女士，她对中国十分友好，也对这次欧中论坛十分重视，亲自前来参加。在我的闭幕晚宴大会发言中，我高度评价她对这次欧中论坛的支持，同时也提到中国与非洲的传统友谊，包括中国与非洲大陆未来的发展不可限量。其实，不仅是非洲大陆，中国和葡萄牙语系国家的发展也是非常重要的，值得我们重视。葡语系国家的人口已经有两亿五千万人，其中，光巴西就有1.8亿人！这次参加欧中商务论坛的也有好几位来自葡语系国家首脑的代表。论坛组委会将把明年的年会放在巴西举行，名为南美中国商务论坛。
