Brasil de Fato<\/p>\n

On Wednesday (23), President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva took part in the 16th BRICS Summit by videoconference<\/a> and announced the motto for the next summit, to be held in 2025 under the presidency of Brazil: \u201cStrengthening cooperation in the Global South for more inclusive and sustainable governance.\u201d<\/p>\n

During his statement in the plenary session of the summit’s leaders, Lula advocated taxing the super-rich and fighting hunger, criticized Israel’s war in the Middle East<\/a> and warned against climate change.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cthere is no doubt\u201d that the rich countries bear the greatest responsibility for the world’s climate problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cBRICS is an unavoidable player in tackling climate change. There is no doubt that the greatest responsibility lies with the rich countries, whose history of emissions has culminated in the climate crisis we face today. We need to go beyond the promise of 100 billion dollars a year yet to be fulfilled and provide measures to monitor the commitments made,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The president recalled that Brazil will host the 2025 Climate Summit (COP) in the city of Bel\u00e9m<\/a>, northern Brazil. \u201cScientific data show an unprecedented sense of urgency. The planet is one and its future depends on collective action. It’s also up to the emerging countries to do their part,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Lula also mentioned Brazil’s foreign policy within the framework of the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, setting the tone for Brazil’s presidency of the bloc’s summit next year. He announced the motto for the next meeting: \u201cStrengthening Global South Cooperation for More Inclusive and Sustainable Governance.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe BRICS is an unavoidable player in tackling climate change. There is no doubt that the greatest responsibility lies with the rich countries, whose history of emissions has culminated in the climate crisis that afflicts us today. We need to go beyond the 100 billion a year pledged but not fulfilled and provide measures to monitor the commitments made,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The president recalled that Brazil will host the 2025 Climate Summit (COP) in Bel\u00e9m (PA). \u201cThe scientific data express an unprecedented sense of urgency. The planet is one, and its future depends on collective action. It’s also up to the emerging countries to do their part,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Lula also pointed to Brazil’s foreign policy activities within the framework of the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, setting the tone for Brazil’s presidency of the summit in 2025. He announced the motto for the next meeting: \u201cStrengthening Global South Cooperation for More Inclusive and Sustainable Governance.”<\/p>\n

According to the president, Brazil\u2019s leadership of BRICS<\/a> will be guided by the defense of a multipolar world with \u201cless asymmetrical relations between countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the Brazilian presidency of the BRICS, we want to reaffirm the bloc’s vocation to fight for a multipolar world and less asymmetrical relations between countries. We cannot accept the imposition of apartheid in access to vaccines and medicines, as has happened in the pandemic, nor in the development of artificial intelligence, which is heading towards becoming the privilege of a few,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the crisis in the Middle East, Lula cited the speech by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan, who told during the UN General Assembly that the Gaza Strip had become \u201cthe world\u2019s largest cemetery of children and women.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis senselessness is now spreading to the West Bank and Lebanon. Avoiding an escalation and starting peace negotiations is also crucial in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

On Sunday (20), the Brazilian president canceled his trip to Russia at the last minute after a domestic accident. Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira is leading the Brazilian delegation in Kazan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
