Brazilian President Lula: Brazil China relations are at their best in history

  He said, "I am looking forward to further deepening cooperation between Pakistan and China in trade, technology, climate change, public health and other fields during this visit to China

Regarding the upcoming fourth ministerial meeting of the China Latin America Forum in Beijing, Lula stated that this will be an important opportunity for the strategic upgrading of the relationship between Latin America and China. I am honored to be invited to attend this conference and look forward to working with China to promote the construction of a community with a shared future between Latin America and China to a new level

The cooperation between Pakistan and China continues to deepen, and the bilateral trade volume has increased from over 5 billion US dollars in 2003 to over 180 billion US dollars in 2024. Lula believes that there is still great potential for cooperation between the two countries, and the bilateral trade volume will continue to rise. He stated that Brazil is undergoing large-scale infrastructure construction, but it is still far from sufficient to meet development needs. Brazil will actively attract more Chinese companies to invest and develop in Brazil, and promote the landing of more cooperative projects. Lula specifically pointed out that Brazil is willing to continue promoting cooperation in the Brazil China Earth Resources Satellite Project, strengthen cooperation with China in high-tech fields such as aerospace and artificial intelligence, and actively promote artificial intelligence to better benefit all mankind.

Free trade can help avoid many conflicts in today's world, "said Lula. Pakistan firmly supports multilateralism and free trade, admires China's firm stance against unreasonable" equivalent tariffs, "and the world should jointly resist power politics and unilateralism. Lula said that Brazil is willing to work together with China to uphold the multilateral trading system centered on the World Trade Organization, maintain international rules and order, strengthen the construction of the BRICS mechanism, and promote the development of the global governance system towards a more just and reasonable direction.

Brazil will host the 17th BRICS Leaders' Meeting and the 30th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change this year. Lula thanks China for its strong support and welcomes China to attend relevant activities. He stated that China's leading role in global climate governance is crucial, and China has done a lot of work in addressing climate change. Brazil hopes to establish a strong partnership with China to promote global climate action and calls on developed countries to shoulder their historical responsibilities. He also hopes that Pakistan and China can strengthen cooperation in public health and other areas, and jointly build a community of human health.

The world today does not need recession, war, or conflict. What it needs is peace, patience, investment, and development, so that people around the world can live with dignity. "Lula said that Brazil will continue to work with China to support the United Nations in playing a greater role in global affairs, uphold true multilateralism, and oppose unilateralism and power politics. As both countries in the global South, Brazil and China can promote the reform of major UN agencies, making the countries in the global South more representative and have a voice, jointly safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries, and working together to address common challenges. In terms of global security, Brazil is willing to work with China to continue playing a constructive role in promoting a political solution to the Ukrainian crisis.

I am very, very, very optimistic about the relationship between Brazil and China, and very optimistic about all aspects, "Lula said." The relationship between Brazil and China is currently at its best in history. The two countries are not only political, economic, and strategic partners, but also joint drivers of world peace and development. Brazil hopes to create a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world together with China through more open cooperation mechanisms
