China supports Brazil in opposing ‘interference’: Xi to Lula

Xi said China supports Brazil’s sovereignty and urged deeper BRICS coordination, trade talks and cooperation in artificial intelligence, energy and minerals.

  • On Monday, Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, affirming China's support for Brazil in "opposing external interference," according to Beijing's state media.
  • During the call, which lasted "more than one hour," Lula said he was "committed to diversifying markets and trade partners" amid tariff pressure from the United States.
  • The leaders "agreed on the importance of speeding up negotiations for a Mercosur-China agreement," while Brazil looks to strengthen cooperation in artificial intelligence and energy sectors.
  • Tensions remain high ahead of the October election, as Brazil denied visas to two United States officials seeking to meet election authorities in Brasilia, with the vote pitting Lula against Flavio Bolsonaro.
  • Xi highlighted the beginning of China's 15th Five-Year Plan, signaling that China and Brazil aim to strengthen Brics cooperation and play a constructive role in reforming global governance for the Global South.
