Xi: China, Brazil ties at 'best period in history'
The two nations also agree to align Belt and Road Initiative with Brazil's development strategies
Xi called on both nations to continue to strengthen strategic mutual trust, supporting each other on core issues such as sovereignty, security and territorial integrity.
As trusted strategic partners, the two sides should set an example of solidarity, cooperation and shared development among Global South nations, he said.
Synergizing the BRI with the development strategies of Brazil should be used as a historic opportunity to deepen bilateral cooperation in key areas such as trade, infrastructure, finance, technology and environmental protection, and to expand collaboration in space exploration, agricultural technology and clean energy, he continued.
Xi also called on both sides to remain committed to multilateralism and jointly push for a fairer global governance system. He highlighted the need to ensure the continued success of the Forum of China and Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, including steps to better align the BRI with the strengths and demands of Latin America and the Caribbean region.
During a joint news conference with Brazilian president, Xi mentioned the six-point proposals between China and Brazil to push for the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis, calling for greater voices for peace.
On the Middle East crisis, Xi told reporters: "We're deeply concerned about the ongoing escalation of the Gaza conflict and call for an immediate cease-fire to halt the violence. Efforts must be made to implement the two-state solution and tirelessly pursue a comprehensive, just and lasting resolution to the Palestinian issue."
