On June 10, 2024 local time, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira in Nizhny Novgorod.

Wang Yi said this year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of China-Brazil diplomatic relations, a significant year in bridging the past and the future for the development of bilateral relations. As President Xi Jinping stressed, both sides should grasp the strategic importance of the China-Brazil relationship, enhance its mutually beneficial nature, and highlight its comprehensiveness. Both sides should work together towards building a China-Brazil community with a shared future, seek greater synergy of the development strategies of both countries and send a positive expectation for the sound and stable development of China-Brazil relations. China has always prioritized Brazil in its diplomacy and is willing to work with Brazil to systematically summarize the successful experience of diplomatic relations for half a century and elevate the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries to a new level. This conforms to the wishes of both peoples and the expectations of the international community, and also contributes to global peace and development. China values Brazil's significant influence in the Latin American region and is willing to jointly promote cooperation between China, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), and the Southern Common Market. As the China-CELAC Forum approaches its 10th anniversary, showing a good momentum of comprehensive advancement, both sides can work together to start an even more fruitful decade for the forum.

Wang Yi noted that China and Brazil, as major developing countries, need to make just, balanced, and constructive voices on international hotspot issues. Recently, the two countries jointly issued six common understandings on the political settlement of the Ukraine issue, which has gained understanding and recognition from more and more countries. Noting that this year marks the inaugural year of the "greater BRICS cooperation", Wang Yi said China is willing to work with Brazil to actively promote BRICS cooperation, enabling the BRICS mechanism to play a greater role in global governance and in safeguarding the interests of developing countries.

Mauro Vieira said, Vice President Geraldo Alckmin paid a successful visit to China and held the seventh meeting of the Brazil-China High-Level Coordination and Cooperation Committee last week, during which the two countries had an in-depth exchange of views on bilateral cooperation and achieved positive results. Brazil highly values its relationship with China, is ready to closely engage in high-level exchanges with China, strengthen cooperation in various fields including trade and economy, and define a new positioning for bilateral relations to open new prospects for the next 50 years. Brazil appreciates China's active role in promoting BRICS cooperation, values China's influence in international affairs, and supports the major initiatives proposed by China. Brazil and China share similar stances on many issues, and the joint statement on the six common understandings on the political settlement of the Ukraine issue is of significant importance. Brazil is willing to continue strengthening cooperation with China on multilateral platforms such as the United Nations, G20, and BRICS. Noting that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva firmly believes that dialogue and cooperation between China and CELAC are of great significance, Mauro Vieira said the China-CELAC Forum is a beneficial platform, and Brazil is willing to work with China to arrange forum activities and promote its new development.

The two sides also had an exchange of views on the situation in Gaza and other issues of mutual interest and concern.
