Araujo dismissed any unease with China and reiterated the importance of the bilateral ties for both countries.
"Of the world's major economies, Brazil perhaps has one of the best relations with China," he said. "Our relationship is very good, very productive. Trade increased last year, investments continue and vaccine supplies are arriving."
Araujo also noted that Brazil is building "a network of new generation trade agreements," and cited the strengthening of trade with blocs and countries.
