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