Beijing backs Brazil against external interference
Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed his country's support for Brazil in its opposition to foreign interference and its efforts to defend its sovereignty during a phone call with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, less than three months before Brazil's presidential elections. Xi emphasized the importance of Brazil's international status and influence, reaffirming Beijing's support for its stance on maintaining independence and promoting regional and global peace and stability. The two leaders also agreed to accelerate negotiations on a trade agreement between Mercosur countries and China, as well as to diversify trade partnerships. Lula, for his part, committed to expanding markets and addressing the pressures of tariffs from the United States, which imposed two rounds of tariffs this month on Brazilian products, amid political tensions ahead of the upcoming elections.
