On October 12, 2023, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs Wang Yi had a phone call with Chief Advisor of the Presidency of Brazil Celso Luiz Nunes Amorim at the latter's request.

Wang Yi said that China and Brazil are both major developing countries and important emerging markets, and have been maintaining communication and coordination on strategic issues of mutual concerns. China is willing to work with Brazil to follow through on the important common understandings reached by the two heads of state and constantly take the China-Brazil comprehensive strategic partnership in a new era to a new height together.

The two sides mainly had an exchange of views on the Palestine-Israel conflict. Amorim said that as the rotating presidency of the United Nations (UN) Security Council for October, Brazil will host an emergency meeting of the Security Council on the Palestine-Israel conflict on October 13. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has issued an open letter calling on Israel to stop its air strikes and protect children. The key to resolving the conflict is to restart talks for peace, and Brazil is willing to closely coordinate with China to deescalate the situation.

Wang Yi said that China is deeply saddened by the high number of civilian casualties caused by the escalation of tensions between Palestine and Israel. China opposes acts that harm civilians and condemns violations of international laws. China calls on all parties to exercise restraint, cool down the situation on the ground as soon as possible, and prevent further expansion of the conflict. The pressing task is to ensure the safety of civilians, and open corridors for aid so as to avoid a serious humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.

Wang Yi pointed out that the Palestinian question is the core of the Middle East issue, and the crux of the matter is that justice has not been done to the Palestinian people. This conflict once again proved in an extremely tragic manner that the way to solve the Palestinian question lies in restarting genuine talks for peace as soon as possible and realizing the legitimate rights of the Palestinian nation. China calls for a more authoritative and influential international peace conference as soon as possible to push the international community to reach a broader consensus based on the "two-state solution" and formulate a timetable and road map for it. The UN has the responsibility and obligation to play its due role on the Palestinian question. China supports the Security Council in holding an emergency meeting on the Palestine-Israel conflict, agrees to focus on humanitarian concerns, and clearly calls for practical measures for a ceasefire, an end to violence, protection of civilians, and the formation of a binding international consensus. China is ready to maintain communication, coordination, and close cooperation with Brazil and relevant parties in this regard.
