Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro said on Thursday the country will lift visa necessity for Chinese and Indian tourists and businesses.

The expected announcement came during his official visit to China to strengthen bilateral ties, according to Indian magazine Business Today.

Bolsonaro has an open doors policy since he took office at the beginning of the year in a bid to attract foreign investment into Brazil.

The Brazilian government ended visa requirement for the U.S., Canada, Japan and Australia earlier this year.
