国内英语资讯:China Focus: BRICS ties offer youth brighter business prospects

Gomes, who is responsible for R&D and quality control in the company, said suppliers in Xiamen offer very competitive products which are popular among Brazilian consumers. In the past few months, he has purchased LED products worth about five million U.S. dollars.

In his opinion, the BRICS Xiamen summit worked to deepen the partnership between BRICS countries, especially regarding economic and trade cooperation.

"China is the largest trading partner of Brazil. Both economies are highly complementary," Gomes said. "I am confident about our cooperation. I hope there can be more cooperation programs which can bring benefits to both countries."

Niren Anand, from Darbhanga city of Bihar Province, India, established Xiamen Ever Trade Import and Export Co., Ltd. in 2011, focusing on designing, manufacturing and exporting shoes.

Anand joined a business forum held during the BRICS Xiamen summit. "The way all five countries supported multilateral cooperation gave us more optimism and confidence."

Anand's business is growing bigger and bigger. Other than the office, he has more than 20 designers, 200 workers, and a development center.

"The BRICS summit made Xiamen well-known. I have many new customers from all over the world, and from India as well," Anand said. "Many of our shoes are sold to India and the European market."

In 2017, Anand's company made around five million U.S. dollars. He is scheduled to fly to Las Vegas next month to join a fair to explore the U.S. market.
