Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Brazil's presidential advisor Celso Amorim pledged to deepen collaboration between their nations during a meeting at the Munich Security Conference this weekend. The talks highlighted the growing strategic partnership between two of the Global South's power players. 🚀
Wang emphasized that President Xi Jinping's 2023 visit to Brazil laid the groundwork for a 'community with a shared future', blending China's Belt and Road Initiative with Brazil's development plans. 🌐 'Our cooperation isn't just about economics—it's about shaping a fairer world order,' he said, nodding to their joint efforts in multilateral platforms like the UN and BRICS.
Amorim called Xi's Brazil trip 'historic', adding that both countries aim to accelerate projects in tech, sustainability, and trade while advocating for Global South representation in international affairs. The leaders also backed peace talks for Ukraine through the 'Friends of Peace' platform. 🕊️
Why it matters? With combined populations of 1.5 billion and growing influence in climate policy, this partnership could reshape everything from green energy markets to how emerging economies navigate US-EU dominance. 💡
