The president Brazilian, Luis Inacio Lula da Silvachose Portugal and Spain as the first countries he will visit in Europe in his new term, because for Brazil they are the “natural gateway” to Europe.

Portugal

Lula’s first stop will be in Lisbon, where next Saturday he will be received by President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa and take part in the XIII Brazilian-Portuguese Summit, a bilateral mechanism that calls for annual meetings but has been paralyzed since 2016.

Brazilian Foreign Secretary Maria Luisa Escorel explained at a press conference that Lula’s trip to both countries is part of Brazil’s “return to the world” from which she has remained almost isolated for the past four years. under the mandate of far-right Jair Bolsonaro.

In Portugal, Lula will also take part in a business forum in the city of Matosinhos, about 300 kilometers from Lisbon, and will take part in the Camoes award ceremony for Brazilian singer-songwriter Chico Buarque.

Spain

Lula will remain in Lisbon until noon next Tuesday, after which he will travel to Madrid, where his first event will take place in the afternoon of the same day he plans to attend a seminar that will bring together Brazilian and Spanish businessmen.

In Madrid, he will meet King Felipe VI, possibly on Tuesday evening, and on Wednesday he will be received by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez at Moncloa Palace, Escorel said, noting that the agenda has not yet been fully decided.

Topics for discussion

both in Lisbon and Madrid, Lula will review the bilateral agenda as well as regional issues, focusing on negotiations on a trade agreement between the European Union (EU) and MERCOSUR, which Brazil integrates with Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.

Esscorel stressed that this will be one of the “fundamental issues” that Lula will discuss with Pedro Sanchez, especially since Spain will hold the EU presidency every six months in the second semester and Brazil the same will happen in MERCOSUR.

“There are expectations that an agreement can be concluded this year, and both Spain and Brazil They are interested in it being finalized during these presidencies,” the diplomat said.
