2015年CRI 李克强在巴西参观体验中国产地铁列车 哥伦比亚发生山体滑坡

 

Visiting Chinese Premier¹ Li Keqiang has announced plans to set up new Chinese-backed infrastructure² in Brazil to produce trains for the Rio de Janeiro metro³.

He made the announcement at the opening of exhibition displaying 3 Chinese-manufactured trains purchased by the city of Rio de Janeiro.

The trains are specifically designed for the city's new metro line, which is due to open ahead of next year's Olympic Games.

Li Keqiang says China wants to do more than just export to Brazil, saying the creation of infrastructure to produce and maintain the metro carriages will help benefit Rio over the long-term.

Premier Li Keqiang arrived in Rio after signing a series of trade agreements with Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff in Brasilia worth some 27 billion U.S. dollars.

President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang have sent separate messages of condolences to Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos over a landslide⁴ that has killed more than 80 people in the country.

The Chinese leaders say China stands ready to provide necessary aid.

The landslide occurred in the northeast town of La Margarita early Monday after heavy rains, killing⁵ at least 83 people.
