On April 29, 2025 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 Rio de Janeiro.

Wang Yi said that China-Brazil relations are strong and robust, and the two heads of state have built solid mutual trust. In November last year, President Xi Jinping and President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva jointly announced to build a China-Brazil community with a shared future for a more just world and a more sustainable planet, opening a new chapter in China-Brazil relations. The two sides also reached common understandings on synergizing the Belt and Road Initiative with Brazil's development strategies and outlined a new blueprint for practical cooperation between the two countries across various fields. China is ready to work with Brazil to deepen strategic mutual trust, enhance communication and cooperation, and strive to build a more closely united, more mature, more resilient, more pragmatic, and more efficient China-Brazil comprehensive strategic partnership.

Wang Yi congratulated Brazil on its role as the rotating chair of the BRICS and its active efforts to promote reform and improve global governance. He stated that China will fully support Brazil's chairmanship, work to enhance and strengthen "greater BRICS cooperation", amplify the BRICS voice, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Global South countries. As the largest developing countries in the eastern and western hemispheres respectively and important members of BRICS, China and Brazil should also uphold multilateralism, resist unilateralism and bullying, safeguard free trade, oppose protectionism, and not allow the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak to prevail.

Mauro Vieira said that since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Brazil and China more than 50 years ago, bilateral relations have developed at a high level, with mutually beneficial cooperation continuously achieving new results. President Xi Jinping's successful historic visit to Brazil last year propelled bilateral relations to a new height. Brazil is willing to strengthen high-level exchanges with China and expand practical cooperation in various fields, including economy and trade, aerospace, science and technology, and healthcare. At a time when the international situation has become more complex and multilateralism and free trade have suffered serious impacts, it is essential for Brazil and China, as well as other BRICS countries, to enhance solidarity and cooperation to jointly tackle global challenges. 

The two sides exchanged views on cooperation between China and Latin American and the Caribbean (LAC) countries and expressed their willingness to work for the fruitful outcomes of the upcoming fourth Ministerial Meeting of the China-CELAC Forum and contribute to the building of a China-LAC community with a shared future.
