厦门与金砖国家经贸往来又有新平台——巴西皮奥伊州战略投资促进局厦门代表处（以下简称“代表处”）10月14日下午在厦门海上世界揭牌。
On October 14, a new platform for economic and trade relations between Xiamen and BRICS countries was launched with the opening of the Xiamen Representative Office of the Piauí State Strategic Investment Promotion Agency, at Xiamen Seaworld.
这是厦门建设金砖国家新工业革命伙伴关系创新基地以来，首个金砖国家地方政府批准在厦设立的外国企业常驻代表机构。
This marks the first permanent foreign enterprise representative office established in Xiamen by a BRICS country local government since the city began developing the BRICS PartNIR Innovation Center.
代表处设在厦门海上世界B座海丝国际法商融合服务基地，将为中国投资者与巴西皮奥伊州政府、企业搭建友好交流、合作共赢的平台。
The office, located in the Maritime Silk Road International Legal and Business Integration Service Base at Xiamen Seaworld, aims to facilitate friendly exchanges and win-win cooperation between Chinese investors and the government and enterprises of Piauí State.
作为连接皮奥伊州与厦门乃至亚洲市场、助力双方携手走向全球的桥梁，代表处将促进双方经贸往来，服务双方高质量“引进来”、高水平“走出去”，成为厦门打造新发展格局节点城市、深化建设金砖国家新工业革命伙伴关系创新基地的重要载体。
巴西皮奥伊州州长拉斐尔·塔日拉·丰特莱斯表示，目前，中国已成为巴西最大的外贸合作伙伴。代表处的设立将开启巴西与厦门双方在经贸、人文、科技、教育等方面的交流与合作，同时也希望皮奥伊州未来能够成为中国企业进入巴西市场先行的桥头堡。
Rafael Tajra Fonteles, the Governor of Piauí State, emphasized that China is Brazil’s largest trade partner, and the establishment of this office will open new avenues for collaboration in trade, culture, technology, and education between Piauí and Xiamen. Fonteles also expressed hope that Piauí could become a strategic gateway for Chinese companies entering the Brazilian market.
2023年10月，在福建省政府主要领导和皮奥伊州州长的见证下，厦门自贸片区管委会与皮奥伊州战略投资促进局已签订谅解备忘录，为双方开展交流合作奠定了制度基础。据悉，皮奥伊州投促局是皮奥伊州政府推动招商引资和投资促进工作的专门机构，主要宣介皮奥伊州的投资环境、产业优势、优惠政策等，并具体组织实施各类招商引资活动，为投资者与皮奥伊州政府及企业搭建交流合作平台。
In October 2023, witnessed by senior leaders from the People's Government of Fujian Province and the Governor of Piauí, the Administration of Xiamen Area of China (Fujian) Pilot Free Trade Zone signed a memorandum of understanding with the Piauí State Strategic Investment Promotion Agency. This MOU lays the foundation for institutionalized cooperation between the two regions. The office, as a dedicated agency of the Piauí State Government, plays a key role in promoting investment, showcasing the state’s industrial advantages and incentives, and organizing investment promotion activities to build a platform for cooperation between investors and Piauí’s government and businesses.
下一步，厦门自贸片区管委会将以代表处设立为契机，着力推动与皮奥伊州经贸往来和互学互鉴，为试点对接国际高标准经贸规则、深入推进制度型开放，助力厦门打造新发展格局节点城市、深化建设金砖国家新工业革命伙伴关系创新基地探索试验、探路先行。
Going forward, the Administration of Xiamen Area of China (Fujian) Pilot Free Trade Zone plans to leverage the representative office as a springboard for strengthening trade ties with Piauí and fostering mutual learning. This will also serve as an exploratory step in aligning with high-standard international trade and economic rules, advancing institutional openness, contributing to Xiamen’s development as a key city in the new development framework, and further enhancing the construction of the BRICS PartNIR Innovation Center.
