“I have been talking about the Security Council since 2003 and I am going to talk about it with President Joe Biden,” Lula wrote on the X social network (formerly Twitter).
He considered it “necessary to have countries that can mediate in conflicts, with nations that are not at war, like Brazil.” The founder of the Workers’ Party insisted that “our war has to be against hunger, against unemployment.”
Official sources assure that Lula will participate in the UN General Assembly in New York in September.
By tradition, the ex-unionist will give the opening speech of the meeting. There are also expectations that Lula and Biden evaluate a bilateral meeting, on a parallel agenda to the assembly.
In that appointment with the Democratic politician, the Brazilian ruler could address the issue of the Security Council.
He recently affirmed that this body is “losing legitimacy” and continues not to understand how some members participate in warfare.
In his speech before the UN, Lula intends to talk about economic and environmental issues.
Also on platform X, the president strummed on Tuesday that new geopolitical negotiation bases are being created with the Brics (an economic group made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China and Russia).
He estimated that the proposal for a reference currency for exports is important and clarified that “it is not against the dollar, but in favor of the development of our countries.”
Lula wished the Brics, on August 22 at their summit in Johannesburg, a level of equality with the European Union and the United States.
The Brics is not a counterpoint to the G7 (alliance of seven, made up of Germany, Canada, the United States, France, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom), nor to the G20 (of the 20 industrialized and emerging countries), nor against anyone.” , detailed the mechanical worker.
He specified that the bloc wants to organize itself “like the Global South, something that did not exist before. We are important in the world debate, sitting at the negotiating table, on an equal footing with the European Union and the United States,” he remarked.
