President-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) spoke by phone today with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. The British government said in a note that the call addressed issues such as democracy and environmental protection.
Sunak “reiterated his congratulations” to Lula for winning the Brazilian election, and both “agreed on the importance of promoting democratic values.”
The incoming president told Briton about his plans to preserve Brazil’s biodiversity and “transition to a greener economy”.
Besides Europe, Lula works to improve Brazil’s relations with Latin America and the United States. Petista was invited to meet with US president Joe Biden, and sources at Reuters Agency indicated the plan was to take him to the United States in January.
According to the sources heard, the trip was likely to take place in December, but Lula’s busy schedule before the opening makes this month’s meeting impossible.
A firm date for January, when the president is sworn in, has yet to be determined, and more talks are needed to fill a gap in the commitments of the two world leaders, according to Reuters.
