China, Brazil can be “self -sufficiency” models for the world South, known as XI | Commercial and economic news

The XI of China and the Lula of Brazil discuss cooperation in the benefits of the trade war by US President Donald Trump.

Chinese President Xi Jinping suggested that China and Brazil have given an example of “unity and autonomy” in the world, Chinese state media reported.

During a telephone call on Monday, Xi told Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva that China was ready to work with Brazil to be a model for other countries and build a “more just a world and a more sustainable planet”, said Xinhua news agency managed by the state.

XI told Lula that Chinese-Brazil links were “at the best of history” and that “alignment” of the development strategies of the two countries made “smooth progress”, reported Xinhua.

“XI also said that China supported the Brazilian people in the defense of their national sovereignty and supports Brazil in the safeguarding of its legitimate rights and interests, urging all countries to unite by resolutely fighting against unilateralism and protectionism,” said Xinhua.

Lula’s office said that the two leaders agreed on the role of the 20 and BRICS group in “defense of multilateralism”, discussed efforts to negotiate peace between Russia and Ukraine, and have committed to extend cooperation to sectors such as health, oil and gas, digital economy and satellites.

“The two presidents also stressed their desire to continue to identify new commercial opportunities between the two savings,” said Lula’s office.

Lula also reiterated the importance of China for the success of the COP30’s global climate conference in November in Belem, Brazil, said its office.

The two leaders have held the discussion as the US president of the United States Donald Trump stimulate calls for greater cooperation between emerging economies, including China and Brazil.

In an interview with the Reuters news agency last week, Lula said that he was planning to contact the BRIC group leaders of 10 members, which includes India and China, to discuss the possibility of a coordinated response to the American prices.

Trump last month announced a 50% rate on Brazilian products and Monday he signed a Executive decree extending a break on a rate of 145% on Chinese products until November.

China exceeded the United States as the largest trading partner in Brazil in 2009, two-way trade last year, reaching 188.17 billion dollars.
