China, Brazil decide to elevate ties in Xi, Lula meeting

Latin America has always been forgotten by the United States and the European Union. Who fills that void? China,

said Flavia Loss, an international relations professor at Foundation School of Sociology and Politics in Sao Paulo

Since 2004, when President Lula visited China for the first time, bilateral trade has grown more than 17 times. Exports to China were greater than the sum of our sales to the United States and the European Union,

Eduardo Saboia, secretary for Asia and the Pacific at the ministry of foreign affairs, said in the statement

But Brazil, as this state visit shows, has managed to seal good agreements with China without having joined, so I don’t know if the gain is still worth it in Brazil’s calculation,

he added

Brazil will maintain its rapprochement and bargain to a certain extent, but I think there will be a limit,

he added

Donald Trump’s election is already accelerating this proximity. We’re clearly seeing it happening now, live,

A place left unoccupied will be occupied by another,

said the European diplomat

The Global South is on a collective rise,

Xi wrote in an article published in Brazilian media ahead of his visit

It was a surprise to me; everyone is so gentle, so attentive. That was the best part of the trip."

Captivated by the warmth and kindness of the Chinese people, he reflected

As we gather at the G20 to address critical global issues such as governance, hunger, sustainability, and the environment, we recognize the crucial role of our partnership with China,

said Rodrigo Castro, deputy secretary for Major Events and Promotion Actions of the Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro

We must work together with others in the Global South to resolutely safeguard the developing nations' common interests, address global challenges through cooperation, and promote a global governance system that is fairer and more equitable,

he said
