China and Brazil have called for urgent peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, issuing a joint statement on Tuesday that emphasizes direct dialogue as the "only way" to resolve the ongoing conflict. The declaration comes as Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva concludes his state visit to China, signaling growing coordination between two major Global South powers.
The statement highlighted both nations' willingness to collaborate with other developing countries to mediate the crisis, underscoring their shared commitment to multilateral solutions. President Lula's five-day visit to Beijing included high-level discussions on enhancing bilateral cooperation and addressing global security challenges.
Analysts note the joint stance reflects evolving diplomatic alignments, with emerging economies increasingly seeking to shape international conflict resolution mechanisms. The development also aligns with China's consistent advocacy for peaceful dispute settlement through dialogue.
