In April 2002, Henan has officially established a sister-province relationship with Santa Catarina.

2002年4月，圣卡塔琳娜州与我省正式结为友好省州。 

Cooperation Intention

【双方重点合作方向建议】

Since the establishment of the sister-province relationship, Henan and Santa Catarina have made frequent high-level mutual visits and done a lot of works in promoting friendly exchanges, seeking cooperation in economy, technology and culture, and carrying out personnel training. Located in Southern Brazil, Santa Catarina has a stable social order, a good industrial foundation, and sound laws and regulations. If Henan’s enterprises choose to set up factories there, the great location will not only facilitate them to open the Brazilian market, but also help them to extend their business to Argentina, Uruguay and other European countries. In addition, the two parties also have great cooperation potentials in food processing and machine manufacturing.

河南省与巴西圣卡塔琳娜州自结好以来，双方高层互访不断，在促进友好往来、开展经济、技术、文化交流与合作，以及人员培训等方面做了大量工作。圣卡塔琳娜州位于巴西南部，社会治安稳定，法律法规健全，具有较好的工业基础。河南企业如在此投资设厂，不仅可进入巴西市场，也可辐射到阿根廷、乌拉圭等国。双方在食品加工、机械制造领域具有很大合作空间。（来源/河南省委外办 翻译/赵汉青 实习生/易涵菲 审校/白玉杰）
