65438+February 2002 14, for Lula da Silva, this is the most joyful and unforgettable day. On this day, he accepted the most important certificate in his life and officially confirmed him as the 40th president of Brazil. He has gone through a long and arduous road from an ordinary skilled worker to the president of a regional power. When Lula received the certificate, he was so excited that he shed tears. On June 65438+ 10/day, 2003, Lula da Silva held a grand inauguration ceremony in the Capitol. He solemnly took the ribbon from the outgoing president and officially became the 40th president of Brazil. Influenced by Cuban socialist revolution and Latin American leftist trend of thought in his early years, Lula was a radical fighter and always held a critical attitude towards the United States and capitalism. He mercilessly attacked capitalism represented by the United States. In the first three presidential elections, Lula's fierce "anti-American" remarks made Wall Street tycoons feel scared, and also worried international financial institutions and large multinational companies that invested more in Brazil. They tried their best to mobilize all forces against Lula's election. However, after learning from the failure of the previous three elections, Lula began to change the attitude of the radical leftist representatives in the fourth election in 2002, stopped criticizing the US-led economic policies of globalization and free trade, recognized the role of the United States and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in the Brazilian economy, and actively improved relations with the United States. He also chose the leader of the Brazilian Liberal Party as his running mate to win the recognition of American and domestic and foreign business circles. Lula wisely saw these factors and began to deal with the Bush administration pragmatically and establish harmonious diplomatic relations and exchanges with the United States. As early as July 2002, Lula sent economic advisers to Washington to explain the future economic policies to the US government in exchange for support. In February, 65438, he personally visited Washington, met with President Bush, reaffirmed his commitment to recognize debt and stabilize the economy, and sought loans from the United States for the "anti-hunger movement" in Brazil. After being elected president, he appointed the finance minister and the central bank governor in accordance with the wishes of the American and international financial circles. Lula's attitude towards the disputed Free Trade Area of the Americas between the United States and Pakistan has softened, from resolutely refusing to agreeing to free trade area negotiations. The United States is worried that Lula's tough stance on the United States will form another anti-American core in the backyard of the United States, which will affect the realization of its global strategy. In the face of Lula's moderate and pragmatic attitude towards the United States, the attitude of the United States towards Lula also took a 180 degree turn, from "suppression" to "acquiescence" and finally "wooing".

Strengthening cooperation with developing countries and the third world is an important part of Lula's diplomatic strategy. As a representative of the Brazilian left, he has a "natural class friendship" towards socialist China. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and China from 65438 to 0974, the two countries have maintained good diplomatic and political relations and established a strategic partnership. The two countries have conducted fruitful cooperation in the space field, successfully launched two Earth resources satellites, and are continuing to develop the third and fourth satellites. In recent years, economic and trade relations between the two countries have developed rapidly. China has become Brazil's third largest trading partner.

At the invitation of China president Hu Jintao, Brazilian President Lula arrived in Beijing on the evening of May 22, 2004 and began a six-day state visit to China. President Lula's visit was accompanied by a Brazilian business delegation composed of more than 420 Brazilian entrepreneurs, setting a record for the number of Brazilian presidents. In addition to the huge business delegation, President Lula was accompanied by many ministers from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Development and Industry, the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Energy and Mines. It can be said that all the key figures affecting Brazil's economic development have come. According to statistics, Brazil is China's largest trading partner in Latin America, and China is Brazil's fourth largest trading partner and third largest export market in the world. In 2003, the bilateral trade volume reached 7.989 billion US dollars. On May 23rd, President Lula attended the opening ceremony of the Beijing Representative Office of Petrobras. This oil company is one of the top 20 oil companies in the world. After the establishment of the Beijing office of Petrobras, Brazil's oil export to China will increase sixfold from the previous 2 million barrels per year, reaching120,000 barrels per year. Brazil will become another important energy supplier to China. During his visit to China, President Lula also accepted the "Tourism Destination" document submitted by China Tourism Administration, and Brazil is expected to become the next tourist destination country for China citizens.

When evaluating his trip to China in 2004, Lula said that it was "a great trip for the Brazilian government". Taking the opportunity of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's visit to China, the Chinese and Pakistani governments have established extensive cooperation in the fields of industry, commerce, science and technology, which will greatly change the current imbalance in international economic relations and will also play a significant role in promoting the development of the two countries. The signing of a number of cooperation agreements between China and Pakistan indicates that Asia and Latin America will further seek win-win results in economic complementarity and bilateral cooperation. The cooperation between China and Pakistan is far from the predatory and dependent relationship in the old international economic order, and it also breaks through the unequal economic situation in which the United States is superior to Latin American countries. The Boston Globe reported that President Lula's visit to China once again reflected Lula's "flexible and pragmatic" diplomatic strategy, and the positive attitude of Lula's government in developing relations with China was determined by the diplomatic line and policy determined by President Lula. Sarah Iva, director of the Brazilian Institute of Foreign Relations, pointed out that the foreign policy of Lula's government includes three basic principles, namely, balanced diplomacy, enhancing the status of bilateral relations and the universality of (Brazil's) international role. Guided by these principles, Brazil has strengthened its relations with developing countries, especially the big ones. China, India, South Africa and Russia are listed as key countries in developing relations by Brazil. Brazil wants to kill two birds with one stone by doing so: economically, increase economic and trade cooperation with the above-mentioned countries in order to realize the goal of changing the "trade geography of Brazil" proposed by President Lula himself and reduce the dependence of Brazilian exports on developed countries in Europe and America; In international politics, we should strengthen communication with China, a big developing country, and finally realize the goal that "Brazil needs to occupy a prominent position in the world" by gradually realizing its universal international role. After Lula was elected president of Brazil as a leftist, he often posed as the spokesman of the third world on the international stage. President Lula's visit to South Africa, India, China and other developing countries in Africa and the Middle East, the formation of a three-nation group with India and South Africa, and the organization of the G-20 at the Cancun meeting, in a sense, can be understood as a concrete means adopted by Brazil to achieve the established strategic goals.
