(MENAFN- AzerNews) Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Monday he
would invite his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping to Brazil, speaking
on the eve of his departure the Asian country in a bid to tighten
relations between the two countries.
"I am going to invite Xi Jinping to come to Brazil, for a
bilateral meeting, to get to know Brazil, to show him the projects
that we have of interest for Chinese investment," he said in an
interview to state-owned broadcasting company EBC, adding he is
planning to "consolidate" the relationship with China.
The trip to China comes little more than two months after Lula
met with U.S. President Joe Biden at the White House, as Brasilia
aims for a pragmatic foreign policy balancing ties with its top
trading partners despite growing tensions between the two.
"What we want is for the Chinese to make investments to generate
new jobs and generate new productive assets in Brazil," Lula
added.
