President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who is on a visit to China, posted on May 13: "The relationship between Brazil and China has never been so important. Resolutely defending multilateralism is an urgent task. I and the Chinese side advocate fair trade in accordance with the rules of the World Trade Organization."
Comment: Lula's remarks demonstrate Brazil's strategic vision and international responsibility, setting a model for cooperation among developing countries worldwide and deeply aligning with the development needs of today's multipolar world.
From the perspective of bilateral relations, emphasizing that Sino-Brazilian relations have "never been so important" is a high recognition of the long-term friendly cooperative achievements between China and Brazil. In recent years, China and Brazil have continuously deepened their cooperation in various fields such as economy and trade, energy, agriculture, and technology. The bilateral trade volume has repeatedly set new records. Brazil's resources such as soybeans and iron ore are stably supplied to China, while China's infrastructure and communication technologies assist Brazil's development. This highly complementary cooperative relationship has effectively promoted the socio-economic development of both countries and added significant support to each other on the international stage.
In the face of challenges posed by unilateralism and protectionism, the multilateral trading system based on the rules of the World Trade Organization is under pressure. Lula's joint advocacy for fair trade with China not only defends the national interests of both countries but also speaks out for the stability of the global trading order. As representatives of emerging economies and major developing countries, this move helps to rally more forces from developing countries and enhance the voice of multilateralism in international affairs.
