Brazil 2nd Brics country after India not to join China's BRI

Brazil, under President Lula da Silva, has decided not to join China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), opting instead for alternative collaborations with Chinese investors. Presidential adviser Celso Amorim stated Brazil seeks synergy with BRI's framework without formal accession. This move contrasts with China's plans and reflects Brazil's strategic approach amid potential geopolitical implications.
