In a move to shake up global governance, China and Brazil are teaming up to boost the BRICS group's influence! 🌍🤝 On Monday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira in the Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod, and they had some exciting plans to share.
This year marks a big milestone—50 years of diplomatic relations between China and Brazil! 🎉 Wang Yi emphasized that this is a \"significant year for the development of bilateral relations,\" and both countries are looking to take their partnership to the next level.
\"We should grasp the strategic importance of our relationship, enhance its mutual benefits, and highlight its comprehensiveness,\" Wang said. The idea is to build a China-Brazil community with a shared future, aligning their development strategies, and fostering a healthy and stable relationship.
China, which has always prioritized Brazil in its diplomacy, is eager to elevate their comprehensive strategic partnership. This move isn't just about the two countries; it's about contributing to global peace and development. ✌️
But that's not all! China values Brazil's significant influence in Latin America and wants to promote cooperation with the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and the Southern Common Market. With the China-Latin America Forum approaching its 10th anniversary, both sides are gearing up for an even more fruitful decade. 🚀
As major developing countries, China and Brazil believe it's time to make balanced and constructive voices on international issues. Recently, they jointly issued six common understandings on the political settlement of the Ukraine issue, gaining recognition from more and more countries. 🌐
Brazil's Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira highlighted the recent successful visit of Vice President Geraldo Alckmin to China and stressed that Brazil highly values its relationship with China. He expressed readiness to strengthen cooperation in various fields, including trade and the economy, and to define a new positioning for bilateral relations for the next 50 years. 🚀
Brazil appreciates China's active role in promoting BRICS cooperation and supports the major initiatives proposed by China. Vieira pointed out that both countries share similar stances on many issues, making their cooperation even more significant.
Looking ahead, Brazil is keen to continue working with China in multilateral platforms like the United Nations, G20, and BRICS. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva believes that dialogue and cooperation between China and CELAC are of great significance. 🇧🇷🇨🇳
The two sides also exchanged views on the Gaza situation and other issues of common concern.
