Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Sunday that he will also try to “further strengthen” relations with Brazil. He did so after arriving in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, where he is participating in the summit of the G20 group and where he plans to negotiate with his Brazilian counterpart, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. TASR informs about it according to the reports of the Reuters and AFP agencies.
According to China’s Xinhua news agency, the president is looking forward to talks “on further strengthening Sino-Brazilian relations, promoting cooperation in the field of development strategies or in international and regional issues related to common interests.” The Chinese leader also said that “the visit will also strengthen the strategic mutual trust of the two countries and expand exchanges and cooperation in various fields.”
Xi is ready to cooperate and discuss with all parties and “jointly promote an equal and orderly multipolar world and a generally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization,” writes Xinhua.
