China's top political adviser Jia Qinglin on Thursday met Brazil's judicial chief, with both sides pledging more efforts to boost cooperation.

During the meeting with Gilmar Mendes, president of the Supreme Federal Tribunal of Brazil, Jia hailed the 35 years of amicable bilateral relations, established in 1974 and enriched in 1993 when China and Brazil established a strategic partnership.

Such friendly cooperation between the two countries has contributed to enhancing contact of the judicial sector and to creating opportunities for legal collaboration, said Jia, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee.

Jia said China has been making remarkable progress in the construction of democracy and justice, which has energetically promoted the economic and social development of the Asian country.

Brazil has accumulated valuable experience on how to improve its legal system, for which Jia hoped the judiciary departments of both countries could continue to intensify the communication and exchange and learn from each other to provide a vigorous legal guarantee for development, stability and prosperity of each nation.

Mendes said Jia's visit to Brazil will promote the cooperation between the judicatories of both sides.

China and Brazil devote similar efforts to building a modern legal system of stability, high efficiency and authority, he said.

He suggested that exchange should be reinforced to broaden collaboration in bilateral or multilateral framework, so as to enrich the China-Brazil strategic partnership.

Jia also met with Brazil's Federal Senate President Jose Sarney on Thursday, shortly before he delivered a speech on China-Latin America relations at the Brazilian Congress.

On Wednesday, he held talks with Brazilian Chamber of Deputies Speaker Michel Temer, and is scheduled to meet Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Friday.

Jia arrived in Brasilia on Wednesday for an official good-will visit to Brazil, the last leg of his four-nation tour which has taken him to the Philippines, Peru and Ecuador.
