00:00Well, I think the G20 has become the principal forum for discussing key international issues.
00:09The fact that it gathers the main economies, the largest economies, on an annual basis
00:17is very important.
00:18And I think this time in Brazil, the focus that we wanted to give to this, to our G20
00:29is development, precisely because it's an aspiration that Brazil and other countries
00:35of the South have.
00:38So there is a global alliance on hunger, eradicating hunger and poverty that has been launched,
00:48and also climate change, because they are related issues.
00:52There's no way we can race out of tea if we tackle the climate change agenda.
01:02What about China?
01:03President Xi has talked about enhancing ties with Brazil, and has also spoken about G20
01:09as a platform to amplify the voices of the global South more broadly.
01:14What's your take?
01:16I think China has been playing a very important role in those issues.
01:24It is a leader in production of goods related to energy transition, solar power, wind power,
01:36electrification.
01:38And it's very important that we are able to join forces with China.
01:42So in addition to the G20 meeting, we are very honored to host a high-level state visit
01:50with President Xi coming to Brasilia on the 20th for what will be a very important meeting
01:57with concrete results, raising the partnership between Brazil and China to a higher level,
02:04and also serving as an occasion to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our relations.
02:14President-elect Donald Trump won't be there, but everyone's talking about him and what
02:17his second term might mean for global trade and the future of G20, aren't they?
02:24Yes.
02:25Well, I think Brazil has excellent relations with the US, and we have excellent relations
02:32with China.
02:33Obviously, I don't deal with, let's say, US issues, but if you look at China and the US,
02:41they have very dense and complex relations, including economic.
02:47Their economies are kind of intertwined.
02:50So I think from our perspective, we want to continue to have good relations and strengthen
02:56our relations with China, and also do that in conjunction with the good relations that
03:02we have with the US.
03:04We want to see a world where dialogue prevails over conflict and, let's say, unhealthy competition.
