China has expressed its willingness to work with Brazil to deepen bilateral cooperation and leverage the stability and complementarity of their partnership to effectively counter external uncertainties.
China’s top diplomat, Wang Yi a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs made this known on Wednesday during a phone call with Celso Amorim, Chief Advisor to the President of Brazil.
Wang noted that, under the strategic guidance of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, both countries have been collaborating to promote the building of a shared future for a more just world and a more sustainable planet.
According to him, this vision reflects the shared sense of responsibility and commitment of the two major developing nations in fostering a multipolar world, upholding international rules and order, and safeguarding global fairness and justice.
He stressed that China firmly supports Brazil in defending its right to development and in opposing the imposition of arbitrary tariffs and other forms of economic coercion.
“As the largest developing countries in the eastern and western hemispheres, China and Brazil have always maintained close support for each other,” Wang said, adding that this cooperation has consistently safeguarded their legitimate interests and those of other Global South countries.
In response, Amorim reaffirmed Brazil’s willingness to deepen cooperation with China in areas such as trade and finance. He also expressed readiness to work with China to strengthen the BRICS mechanism, enhance solidarity and self-reliance among Global South nations, and uphold international fairness and justice.
On the Ukraine crisis, Wang and Amorim exchanged views, with the Chinese diplomat calling for continued communication and joint efforts to build greater consensus.
He advocated for a Global South-led consensus on a ceasefire and emphasised the importance of promoting dialogue through the Group of Friends for Peace to help achieve a political settlement of the crisis.
