According to the Planalto Palace, the cancellation follows medical advice due to a temporary impediment to long-term air travel. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">A medical bulletin from the S\u00edrio Liban\u00eas Hospital in Bras\u00edlia stated that Lula was admitted with a cut on the back of his head, described as a &#8220;blunt injury in the occipital region.&#8221; The document also notes that the president remains under the supervision of a medical team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Lula was set to attend the 16th <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brasildefato.com.br\/2024\/10\/11\/in-china-brics-bank-president-dilma-rousseff-says-brazil-may-enjoy-opportunities-with-the-belt-and-road\">BRICS Summit<\/a> in Kazan, Russia, this week, from October 22 to 24. Instead, the government announced that he would participate in the event via videoconference. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Following the trip&#8217;s cancellation, the Kremlin ruled out a possible link to Putin&#8217;s refusal to attend the G20 summit in Brazil in November. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russian news agency Tass that &#8220;such a thought could not even cross our minds&#8221;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"ckeditor-subtitle\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">First Summit with new members \u00a0<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">This will be the first BRICS summit with the participation of Egypt, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Ethiopia, countries that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brasildefato.com.br\/2024\/10\/09\/cuba-sends-official-request-to-join-brics-as-partner-member\">joined the bloc this year.<\/a>\u00a0At the summit in Kazan, the BRICS member countries will issue a joint declaration titled &#8220;Strengthening Multilateralism for Fair and Secure Global Development,&#8221; which is the result of sectoral negotiations among the member states. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brasildefato.com.br\/2024\/10\/03\/brics-should-lead-gaza-reconstruction-with-palestinians-says-president-of-the-palestinian-federation-of-brazil\">The Middle East crisis<\/a> is also expected to be on the agenda. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">According to Itamaraty, creating the category of &#8220;partner&#8221; countries will be the main topic of debate among the heads of state. &#8220;At the Johannesburg Summit in 2023, new full members were incorporated, and on that occasion, the Sherpas channel was commissioned to draw up the category of partners. That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re working on this semester: defining the criteria for this category. There&#8217;s an expectation that once this category is approved, an announcement can be made about the countries that would be invited to join,&#8221; explained Ambassador Eduardo Paes Saboia, Itamaraty&#8217;s Secretary for Asia and the Pacific, at a press conference on October 14. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The case is not severe, but medical advice recommends the president avoid long-term trips<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[1882,1419,1508,1515,619,1710,27],"class_list":["post-306507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-brasilia","tag-brics","tag-debate","tag-eduardo-paes","tag-g20","tag-luiz-inacio-lula-da-silva","tag-lula"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=306507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306507\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=306507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=306507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=306507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
