Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff plans to pressure Chinese officials to buy more than Vale SA’s iron ore from Latin America’s biggest economy when her first visit as head of state begins in Beijing today.
Rousseff is scheduled to meet with President Hu Jintao tomorrow and attend the summit of the so-called BRIC nations on April 14. She has been more outspoken than her predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, on trade and currency issues between Brazil and the country that is both its top commercial partner and a trade rival.
