On January 19, 2024 local time, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva met with visiting Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Fortaleza.

Lula asked Wang Yi to convey his sincere greetings to President Xi Jinping, saying that he attaches great importance to mutual trust and friendship with President Xi Jinping, and looks forward to strengthening high-level exchanges between Brazil and China, opening a new chapter in bilateral relations, and lifting the Brazil-China comprehensive strategic partnership to a new height. Since the first day of establishing diplomatic relations, Brazil has publicly supported and pursued the one-China policy, and will continue to unwaveringly adhere to this position in the future. Brazil-China cooperation has a solid foundation, high quality and great potential, and China has long been Brazil's largest trading partner. Brazil is optimistic about China's development prospects and looks forward to learning from China's experience in state governance and continuously enriching cooperation with China. Chinese enterprises are welcome to increase investment in Brazil. Noting that Brazil and China share a high degree of consensus on many major issues, Lula said he looks forward to China's support for Brazil's successive hosting of the G20 Leaders' Summit in Rio de Janeiro, the BRICS Summit, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, and other multilateral agendas, and working with China to improve global governance and enhance the overall strength and the voice of developing countries in international affairs.

Wang Yi conveyed President Xi Jinping's cordial greetings and expressed his appreciation for Brazil's adherence to the one-China principle and its support for China's legitimate stance. He said that the Chinese side has always prioritized China-Brazil relations in its diplomacy, firmly supported Brazil in accelerating its economic and social development, and firmly supported Brazil in playing a greater role in international and regional affairs and hosting a series of multilateral conferences. China is willing to take the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries as an opportunity to follow through on the important common understandings reached between the two heads of state, strengthen high-level exchanges, deepen strategic communication, and open up new prospects for China-Brazil comprehensive strategic partnership.

Wang Yi said that the two sides should strengthen the strategic alignment between the Belt and Road cooperation with Brazil's re-industrialization and New Growth Acceleration Program, expand and strengthen cooperation in traditional fields, actively explore cooperation in emerging fields, and set the long-term goal of jointly building a China-Brazil community with a shared future, which will send a positive signal that China and Brazil are long-term and reliable strategic partners for each other. Both sides should further strengthen solidarity, mutual trust and strategic coordination, and demonstrate the responsibility of major developing countries in regional and international affairs. The two countries should actively explore and deepen the all-round cooperation between China and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and between China and the Southern Common Market (Mercosur), help Latin American and the Caribbean countries to unite and strengthen themselves, so as to move toward modernization together, and make the international order more just and equitable.

During his visit to Brazil, Wang Yi also met with Brazilian Vice President Geraldo Alckmin and Chief Advisor of the Presidency of Brazil Celso Luiz Nunes Amorim, and co-chaired the fourth China-Brazil Foreign Ministerial-Level Comprehensive Strategic Dialogue with Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira.
