Overview

  • Mauro Vieira completed the fifth Brazil‑China Global Strategic Dialogue in Beijing on June 1–2, meeting Vice President Han Zheng, Commerce Minister Wang Wentao and Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
  • Brazil pressed China for guaranteed, reliable fertilizer supplies to reduce a dependence that leaves more than 90% of its farm needs imported.
  • Vieira sought clearer market access for Brazilian products, raising specific trade issues such as Chinese safeguards on Brazilian beef while no immediate, formal commitments were announced.
  • The two sides advanced talks on World Trade Organization reform and reaffirmed cooperation on cultural and people‑to‑people ties, including visa‑free short visits and a Portinari exhibition in Beijing.
  • China is Brazil’s largest trading partner with bilateral trade of US$170.9 billion in 2025, and the DEG outcome leaves implementation details to follow through Cosban scheduling and further diplomatic follow‑ups.
