President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) will receive, this Tuesday (30), ten presidents of South American countries, in addition to a representative of the government of Peru, for a meeting at the Itamaraty Palace, in Brasília.
Members of the federal government understand that the meeting will serve for Brazil to resume its leading role on the continent, which, according to them, was reduced in past administrations.
Brazilian diplomats believe that, after the misunderstanding at the G7 with the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, Lula should dedicate himself more to the continent, where Brazil’s political and economic prominence is greater. At the time, Lula and Zelensky missed each other.
According to the Itamaraty, the main objective of the meeting with South American leaders is to seek greater cooperation within the continent.
Presidents Alberto Fernández (Argentina), Luís Arce (Bolivia), Gabriel Boric (Chile), Gustavo Petro (Colombia), Guillermo Lasso (Ecuador), Irfaan Ali (Guyana), Mário Abdo Benítez (Paraguay), Chan Santokhi (Suriname), Luís Lacalle Pou (Uruguay) and Nicolás Maduro (Venezuela).
The current president of Peru, Dina Boluarte, unable to attend, will be represented by the president of the Council of Ministers, Alberto Otárola.
