Brazil is considering pushing for a partial trade agreement between the Mercosur bloc and China for the first time, senior Brazilian government officials said

A joint statement issued during Uruguayan President Yamandu Orsi’s visit to Beijing to meet with President Xi Jinping this week said they hoped free trade negotiations between China and Mercosur could begin “as soon as possible.” Mercosur includes Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, with Bolivia poised to become a full member.
