In the face of a new arms race, he is among leaders who denounce the irrationality of investing in destruction, to the detriment of the fight against hunger and global warming,” he continues.

Itamaraty stressed that, under the leadership of Lula, Brazil positioned itself as an advocate of democracy and international law. “Under Lula’s leadership, Brazil has become a rare example of institutional solidity and defense of democracy. It was a reliable partner that respects multilateral trade rules and offers security to investors. As a country that has no enemies, Brazil is also a coherent defender of international law and dispute resolution through diplomacy. Lula is an eloquent advocate of the United Nations Charter and Geneva Conventions, ”says the letter.
The Brazilian presidency at BRICS, according to the letter, aims to strengthen cooperation between member countries, promoting sustainable development and peace in an increasingly complex global scenario.
