MOSCOW (Sputnik) - China hopes to have Brazil joining Beijing's Belt and Road initiative as soon as possible, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on Thursday.
Last week, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said that his administration was preparing a proposal to join the Chinese infrastructure and investment initiative.
"Brazil is the country of football. China welcomes Brazil to join the Belt and Road family as soon as possible and looks forward to Brazil’s worldies in Belt and Road cooperation," the spokeswoman said during a press conference.

The Belt and Road Initiative is a global infrastructure development project conceived by China in 2013. Inspired by the ancient Silk Road, it aims to connect China to Central Asia, Russia, and Europe by land, and to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa to Latin America and the Caribbean by sea. It currently includes more than 150 nations, with a dozen more considering joining the initiative.
