Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived at the Museum of Modern Art in Brazil's Rio de Janeiro to attend the 19th G20 Summit on Monday morning local time.
Xi, who arrived in Rio de Janeiro for the summit and a state visit to Brazil, was welcomed by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
Taking place under the theme "Building a just world and a sustainable planet" on Monday and Tuesday, this year's G20 Summit marks the first gathering of its kind since the African Union's accession as a full member last year, a historic milestone that strengthens the voice of the Global South.
Created in 1999, the G20 is a main forum for international cooperation on financial and economic issues and comprises 19 countries plus the European Union (EU) and the African Union (AU).

Technologies and products ensuring the safety of new energy vehicles (NEVs) have become most sought-after at the ongoing 22nd Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition, as China's NEV industry reached an annual output of over 10 million units.
The exhibition will run from Friday until November 24, showcasing 78 new models from global and domestic manufacturers for the first time. A total of 1,171 vehicles will be on display, including 512 NEVs.
During the exhibition, exhibitors have showcased cutting-edge innovations in NEV safety, with particular emphasis on vehicle architecture, chassis, and battery integration.
One key demonstration was the water immersion test, which showcased the vehicle's resilience and safety under extreme conditions.
"Next year, we will launch our first electric vehicle and conduct quality verification for over 1 million kilometers," said Qi Xiaohui, deputy general manager of Beijing Hyundai Motor Co., Ltd.
Electrical safety is a critical focus for NEVs. Gao Jidong, general manager of the New Energy Inspection Center at the China Automotive Technology and Research Center, said that the 2025 New Energy Vehicle Electrical Safety Technology System will expand to include 13 new testing items, covering areas such as fast-charging safety and electromagnetic compatibility.
To further support consumer confidence, the Center also launched the China New Energy Vehicle Safety Information Platform, which provides detailed data on electromagnetic protection, charging speed, and overall electrical safety.
