Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Celso Amorim, special advisor to Brazil's president, emphasized deepened cooperation between their nations during high-level talks in Brasilia on Tuesday. Both leaders stressed the need to unite developing economies against global challenges, positioning BRICS as a key platform for advancing multilateralism.
Wang, a member of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau, highlighted China's commitment to collaborating with Brazil as 'first echelon' BRICS members. 'Amid global instability, our nations must uphold the rights of emerging economies and promote sustainable development,' he stated, underscoring shared responsibilities in addressing peace and security issues.
Amorim praised China's assertive stance against unilateral trade measures, noting it resonates with Global South countries. 'BRICS must actively defend fair multilateral systems while countering protectionism,' he said, reaffirming support for coordinated actions on critical issues like the Ukraine crisis and Middle East tensions.
The dialogue also covered strategic coordination on the Iranian nuclear dossier, demonstrating both countries' growing alignment in shaping geopolitical narratives. Analysts suggest this partnership could influence upcoming G20 discussions and WTO reform debates.
