Wang made the remarks while also being described as a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, and he said “Practical cooperation across all fields has been steadily upgraded, and the two peoples have never been closer,”.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said China hopes the visit will “further strengthen the two sides' political and strategic mutual trust” and contribute to world peace and global stability.
Mao Ning said Wang Yi will co-chair with Mauro Vieira the fifth Global Strategic Dialogue at the foreign ministers level between China and Brazil during the visit scheduled from May 31 to June 2.
One-China and multilateralism

Mao Ning said China and Brazil are respectively the two largest developing countries in the eastern and western hemispheres and both are important members of BRICS and the Global South, with Sino-Brazilian relations “occupy a leading position among the relations that China maintains with other developing countries.”
In the same press briefing, Mao Ning said China hopes to strengthen communication and coordination within multilateral mechanisms including the United Nations and BRICS and to “actively act on the four major global initiatives” to establish a more just and equitable global governance system.
Global South diplomacy
The Global Times said the visit is expected to include discussions on positions on safeguarding multilateralism, and it quoted Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning as saying the visit should demonstrate a sense of responsibility in promoting solidarity and cooperation among Global South countries.
