Besides ministers, officials and businesspeople, many congressmen of the opposition have also joined in the visit, highlighting that boosting friendliness with China has become an inter-party consensus, Wang Youming, director of the Institute of Developing Countries at the China Institute of International Studies in Beijing, told the Global Times on Tuesday. The Brazilian delegation to China, in terms of its size and composition, is different from the one going with Lula to the US in February. Lula, as a left-wing leader, has attached great importance to China-Brazil relations as during his previous term, cooperation on trade and economy as well as people-to-people exchanges witnessed fruitful outcomes, analysts said, expressing high expectation for upgrading relations during Lula's visit. This is Lula's fifth visit to China and his first trip outside the Western hemisphere during his third term in office starting January 2023. The four-day visit was rescheduled after the previous plan was postponed as Lula was diagnosed with flu and pneumonia, according to the Brazilian government.
Lula was scheduled to arrive in Shanghai on Tuesday and then go to Beijing to meet with Chinese leaders. Lula's visit carries the great expectation that China and Brazil, both developing countries and emerging economies, will usher in a new era for bilateral relations and inject positive impetus into the world, observers said.Ĭhinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said on Tuesday's routine press briefing the fact that President Lula da Silva will lead a large delegation to China on his state visit so soon after his recovery speaks to the high importance both sides attach to this visit and our bilateral relations.Ĭhina stands ready to work together with the Brazilian side and take this visit as an opportunity to upgrade our mutually beneficial friendly cooperation in various sectors and bring more positive energy to developing countries' solidarity, cooperation and joint response to global challenges, the spokesperson said.
