Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is gearing up for a landmark trip to the Chinese mainland this month. He’ll attend the CELAC–China Summit and hold talks with President Xi Jinping, with a strategic stop in Moscow en route to Beijing.
During a preview with Chinese journalists, Lula labeled China “a strategic partner in a turbulent world,” signaling his ambition to expand collaboration on trade, infrastructure and diplomatic coordination among emerging economies.
His Moscow stop highlights a broader vision: diversifying Brazil’s alliances by engaging key partners across Eurasia and Asia. Observers say this approach underscores Brazil’s push to reshape traditional ties and deepen South-South cooperation.
As leaders gather for the CELAC–China Summit, all eyes are on how Brazil and China will tackle shared challenges—from climate resilience to economic recovery—while charting a new chapter for Global South partnerships.
