On March 27, 2025, Special Envoy Zhai Jun of the Chinese Government on the Middle East Issue met with Secretary for Africa and the Middle East at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Brazil Carlos Sérgio Sobral Duarte in Brasilia. The two sides had an exchange of views on bilateral relations and the situation in the Middle East.

Zhai Jun said that last year, President Xi Jinping made a state visit to Brazil and held fruitful talks with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. He expressed the belief that under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, China and Brazil will achieve more results in practical cooperation in various fields. China and Brazil share similar positions on hotspot issues in the Middle East. China values the important role played by Brazil as the rotating chair of the BRICS, and is ready to strengthen coordination and cooperation with Brazil to deescalate the situation in the Middle East as soon as possible and play a positive role in achieving regional peace and stability.

Brazil and China have maintained long-term coordination and cooperation on international and regional hotspot issues, and Brazil appreciates China's support for the country in hosting relevant activities under the BRICS cooperation mechanism and is willing to work with China to jointly safeguard peace and stability in the Middle East.
