247 President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva created this Thursday (20) the G20 National Commission and called on the group of authorities to make efforts to carry out the summit and other initiatives next year. “It’s more important than the World Cup,” Lula said.
The president also praised Central Bank President Roberto Campos Neto for his participation in the meeting and stressed the importance of the G20 meeting next year.
In his opinion, Brazil is the safe haven for green energy investments for the country’s development. Lula once again defended global governance reform. Another focus of the G20 presidency was the fight against hunger and inequality.
“The G20 summit will be the most important event that Brazil will host in the coming years. The world’s major economies will gather here. We are faced with the challenge of not only fighting hunger in the world, but also driving forward the energy transition. And Brazil will do that.” “Be the safe haven for everyone who wants to invest in sustainable energy,” he explained.
CONTINUED AFTER RECOMMENDATIONS
Lula also criticized international financial institutions for Argentina’s and Africa’s debts. He called for a reformulation of credit policies for poor countries and welcomed the initiative of the President of the Chamber, Arthur Lira (PPAL), to hold a meeting of women parliamentarians during the Brazilian G20 presidency.
