BRASILIA (Reuters) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Brazilian peer Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Wednesday they had raised the status of their countries' global strategic partnership during a state visit on a regional tour showing Beijing's growing diplomatic clout.
Xi and Lula both said the China-Brazil relationship had become a "Community with a Shared Future for a More Just World and Sustainable Planet," expanding a key slogan from the Chinese president in a news conference at the presidential residence.
