Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Tuesday championed trade multilateralism, saying Brazil seeks commercial ties "without preference" with partners from China and the United States to Russia and France.

"Since we do not favour a second Cold War... we have no trade preferences," the leftist leader said following a meeting with Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro.
