Radical leftist Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed 15 agreements with genocidal communist Chinese dictator Xi Jinping during an in-person summit in Beijing.
“President Lula said he was honored and proud to head a large delegation on his fourth visit to China. This is his first visit outside the Americas since being elected President last year. This choice reflects Brazil’s affection for China and commitment to Brazil-China relations,” the ministry related. “China is an indispensable force in global politics, economy and trade, science and technology, and plays a vital role in promoting world peace and development.
“Brazil is committed to building closer relations with China from the strategic perspective of shaping a just and equitable international order,” Lula reportedly vowed. The two also reportedly discussed the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. China is one of Russia’s closest allies and Lula has publicly both supported the Russian military action andUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky – going a step further than the Chinese leadership, which is nominally also allied with Ukraine.
“Both sides agreed that dialogue and negotiation is the only feasible way for settling it and that all efforts that are conducive to its peaceful resolution should be encouraged and supported,” according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry. “They appealed to more countries to play a constructive role for a political settlement of the Ukraine crisis. The two presidents agreed to stay in communication on the issue.
