Lula: Cop30 - 2025 in Brazil will be an honour

The choice of the United Nations to host the Cop 30, in 2025, fell on Belem, in the State of Parà, in Brazil, in the Amazon area. This was announced by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on the web. "It will be an honor for Brazil to receive representatives from all over the world in a state of our Amazonia. I am sure that Helder Barbalh (the governor of the state) and the people of Parà are ready to promote the best COP in history", wrote Lula .

"I was not disappointed. I was shocked, because I would have liked to meet him and discuss the issue" of the conflict in Ukraine, Lula said at a press conference before returning home from the G7 summit in Japan. But "Zelensky is an adult. He knows what he's doing," she added. Lula said her team had scheduled a meeting with Zelensky. But the Ukrainian leader arrived late and his diary was too full afterwards, she explained.

  The Brazilian president then specified that neither the Ukrainian head of state nor Russian president Vladimir Putin seem to want peace. "For now, they are both convinced they will win the war," he commented. The White House has previously accused Lula of "leaking Russian and Chinese propaganda." But today the president of Brazil retorted that the country condemned him the invasion of Russia. He then leveled criticism at US President Joe Biden who he said is sending the message that "Putin must surrender and pay for everything he destroyed." "That message doesn't help," Lula said.
