On September 4, 2025, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs Wang Yi met in Beijing with Chief Advisor to the Presidency of Brazil Celso Luiz Nunes Amorim, who is in China for the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
Wang Yi expressed welcome for Celso Luiz Nunes Amorim's attendance at the commemoration on behalf of the Brazilian government. Under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, China-Brazil relations have continuously reached new heights. Both sides should steadfastly work together to build a China-Brazil community with a shared future for a more just world and a more sustainable planet, setting an example of the strength through unity among major countries of the Global South.
Wang Yi stated that the current world landscape is undergoing complex changes, with the resurgence of unilateralism undermining the foundation of multilateralism and posing severe challenges to the vast number of developing countries. President Xi Jinping proposed the Global Governance Initiative (GGI) in response to the new changes in the international situation, aiming to address global challenges more effectively. Since its proposal, the GGI has been widely welcomed by all parties. As the largest developing countries in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres respectively, China and Brazil should shoulder the mission of the times, strengthen strategic coordination, enhance strategic mutual trust, deepen strategic cooperation, unequivocally champion multilateralism, uphold international rules, safeguard the common interests of the Global South, and make active efforts to improve global governance. China appreciates Brazil's earnest performance of its duties as the BRICS chair, and is ready to work with Brazil to consolidate the positive momentum of BRICS, promote greater communication and coordination among BRICS countries on major issues, and stand firm on common positions.
Celso Luiz Nunes Amorim handed over the letter from President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to President Xi Jinping, expressing that the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War was deeply moving, and that releasing pigeons is to convey the message of peace. He congratulated China on the complete success of the event. The Chinese people, faced with foreign aggression, showed unyielding resilience and rose to fight back, making significant historical contributions to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. Given the current context in which certain countries disregard international rules, abuse tariffs, and undermine the multilateral trading system, the importance of strengthening unity and cooperation among the Global South and BRICS countries is becoming increasingly prominent. Against this backdrop, China's proposal of the GGI is of great significance. Brazil is willing to work with China, guided by the common understandings reached between the two heads of state, to enhance coordination and cooperation in international affairs and jointly uphold multilateralism.
The two sides also exchanged views on issues such as the Ukraine crisis, the situation in the Middle East, and climate change.
