Beijing. Brazil distanced itself from China’s BRI plan and decided not to participate in it. This is being considered a big blow to China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) project. Brazil has become the second BRICS country not to participate in this billion-dollar initiative of China. Earlier, India had not supported it in the BRICS group. Celso Amorim, a special adviser to Brazilian President Lula da Silva, said on Tuesday that Brazil will not join the BRI but will instead seek alternative ways to partner with Chinese investors. He said Brazil wants to take relations with China to a new level, without signing any contracts. “We are not making any treaties,” Amorim said. This decision of Brazil contradicts China’s plan to carry it out mainly during the state visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Brasilia on November 20. India has already made its concerns clear on BRI. Regarding the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor being built in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, India also says that the BRI project is against international laws and principles and we cannot support them.
