The event was attended by Chinese leaders and foreign representatives, highlighting the importance of the award.
According to official sources, the Friendship Medal is the highest state decoration in China for foreigners.
It is intended for those who have made extraordinary contributions to support the country’s socialist modernization, promote exchanges and cooperation between China and other countries, and defend world peace.
The distinction symbolizes not only friendship but also recognition of the strong diplomatic relationship between the nations involved.
Xi Jinping And The Choice Of Influential Leaders
Xi Jinping, president of China, has been selective in choosing the recipients of this medal.
Since the creation of the Friendship Medal in 2018, the list of honorees includes prominent figures such as Russian President Vladimir Putin, recognized in 2018, and former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, both for their efforts in international cooperation and for advocating global peace.
Dilma Rousseff, who has been presiding over the New Development Bank (NDB) since March 2023, has stood out in her activities at the head of the institution, created by the BRICS group of emerging economies.
The bank, headquartered in Shanghai, plays an important role in sustainable development and infrastructure in emerging countries, something that strengthens the ties between China and Brazil.
According to experts, Dilma’s relationship with China is longstanding, and her work at the NDB has further strengthened this partnership.
Amid an international landscape of economic and political tensions, cooperation between these two countries has become crucial for global balance.
Friendship Medal And Its Other Recipients
In addition to Putin and Ban Ki-moon, the Friendship Medal has also been awarded to notable figures who, according to the Chinese government, have contributed significantly to international relations and peace. Among them are:
- Kazuo Inamori, founder of Kyocera Corporation and a major contributor to economic and technological development between China and Japan.
- Mengistu Haile Mariam, former leader of Ethiopia, awarded for his efforts in promoting peace and cooperation between African nations and China.
The Honor In The Context Of The 75th Anniversary Of China
This year’s award ceremony took place at a special moment: the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, celebrated on October 1, 2024.
Xi Jinping took the opportunity to strengthen ties with partner countries, and Dilma Rousseff represented not only Brazil but also the potential for multilateral cooperation.
During the ceremony, the Chinese president highlighted Brazil’s importance on the global stage and Dilma’s contribution to peace and development.
In total, 15 personalities were awarded national medals and honorary titles in 2024 as part of the China anniversary celebrations.
Each of them played an important role in international cooperation or in advancing the Chinese socialist economy.
Geopolitical Importance
The delivery of the Friendship Medal goes beyond a diplomatic gesture.
According to geopolitical experts, China uses this honor as a way to consolidate strategic partnerships and reinforce its role as a global leader.
In Dilma Rousseff’s case, her role at the NDB symbolizes the mutual trust between Brazil and China and the willingness of both countries to collaborate on global issues, such as sustainable development and world peace.
Future Of The China-Brazil Partnership
The Brazil-China relationship, which began decades ago, has evolved over the years and strengthened in areas such as trade, technology, and infrastructure.
Dilma Rousseff’s appointment to the NDB and the delivery of the Friendship Medal reflect the recognition of Brazil’s leadership role in South-South cooperation.
The New Development Bank, founded in 2015, reinforces this bond, allowing emerging countries to work together in the global economic landscape.
At the end of the ceremony, Dilma thanked for the honor and emphasized the importance of international cooperation to face global challenges.
“The world needs more unity and less confrontation,” declared the former president, reaffirming her commitment to peace and development.
With so many renowned personalities receiving this medal, is Brazil ready to further expand its cooperation with China? And how can this partnership impact the future of the global economy? Share your thoughts in the comments!
