Beijing and Brasilia have advanced a joint roadmap for peace in Ukraine that has been endorsed by Moscow -- China's ally -- but rejected by Kyiv.
Xi said he wanted to see "more voices committed to peace to pave the way for a political solution to the Ukraine crisis," Xinhua reported.
Lula, standing next to him, stressed the joint China-Brazil initiative, and said: "In a world plagued by armed conflicts and political strife, China and Brazil put peace, diplomacy and dialogue first."
Xi was in Brasilia on a state visit immediately following his participation in a G20 summit held in Rio, during which he had warned that the world was facing a new period of "turbulence".
Europe and the United States have not taken the China-Brazil proposal on board, saying that any move toward peace needed backing from Ukraine.
