China’s President Xi Jinping told his Brazilian counterpart Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva that the two countries could set an example of “self-reliance” in a phone call on Tuesday, state media reported.<\/p>\n

The two leaders have both sought in recent months to present their countries as staunch defenders of the multilateral trading system — in stark contrast with US President Donald Trump’s tariff onslaught.<\/p>\n

Xi said China would “work with Brazil to set an example of unity and self-reliance among major countries in the Global South” and “jointly build a more just world and more sustainable planet”, according to state news agency Xinhua.<\/p>\n

He also said that “all countries should unite and firmly oppose unilateralism and protectionism”, Xinhua reported — a thinly veiled reference to US tariffs.<\/p>\n

A statement by the Brazilian presidency said that the phone call lasted about an hour, during which time Lula and Xi discussed a range of topics including the war in Ukraine and combatting climate change.<\/p>\n

“Both agreed on the role of the G20 and BRICS in defending multilateralism,” the statement said.<\/p>\n

The leaders also “committed to expanding the scope of cooperation in sectors such as health, oil and gas, digital economy and satellites”, it added.<\/p>\n

The phone call came after Lula indicated plans last week to speak with the leaders of India and China to consider a coordinated response to US tariffs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
