Chinese President Xi Jinping, upon arriving in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday for the 19th G20 Summit, expressed his willingness to work with all parties to realize a multipolar world based on equality and order, and inclusive economic globalization that benefits all.

In a written statement, Xi expressed hope that the G20 will play a greater role as an important platform for international economic cooperation.

This year’s G20 Leaders’ Summit, scheduled for November 18-19, is the first meeting of its kind since the African Union joined the group as a full member, a historic event that strengthens the voice of the Global South.

Javier Miranda, former president of Uruguay's Broad Front party, expressed hope that this summit would be a major step towards building a multipolar world - a world that promotes dialogue.

In remarks to Xinhua, Miranda said that in a world plagued by wars and conflicts, commitment to dialogue is one of the goals of this G20 meeting.

As president of the G20, Brazil has set the theme of the summit as “Building a Just World and a Sustainable Planet.” Among the main priorities identified by the Brazilian government are combating hunger, poverty and inequality, promoting sustainable development, and advancing reforms in global governance.

"Building a just world requires the G20 to adhere to the principles of mutual respect, equal cooperation and mutual benefit, as well as support countries of the global south in achieving greater development," Xi said in a signed article published in Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo on Sunday.

“Building a sustainable planet requires the G20 to promote sustainable production and sustainable lifestyles as a means of achieving harmony between people and nature,” he added.

The Chinese president also pledged China's active support for the "Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty" initiative proposed by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

“As we gather at the G20 to discuss critical global issues such as governance, hunger, sustainability and the environment, we recognize the critical role of our partnership with China,” said Rodrigo Castro, Deputy Secretary of Major Events and Promotions for the Rio de Janeiro State Government.

Castro added that many solutions to the challenges facing developing countries stem from ideas and practices already implemented by China.

"For us Brazilians who are hosting the G20... we feel very proud to receive the Chinese president and the entire Chinese delegation," he continued.

In addition to attending the G20 summit, Xi will also pay a state visit to Brazil, which this year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

During the visit, Xi will have an in-depth exchange of views with the Brazilian president on bilateral relations and international and regional issues of common concern.

Brazil is the second leg of Xi's two-nation tour, which also began with Peru. In Lima, Xi had a busy schedule, attending the 31st APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting, paying a state visit to Peru, and holding a series of bilateral meetings, including a meeting with his U.S. counterpart, Joe Biden, on the sidelines of the APEC meeting.
