Brazil, Chile reject trade wars, reaffirm support for multilateralism

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Chilean President Gabriel Boric on Tuesday reaffirmed their commitment to multilateralism and regional integration, and their rejection of global trade wars.

At a joint press conference, the two leaders criticised the U.S. protectionist policies and called for strengthened ties among South American nations. Lula emphasised the need to reinforce regional institutions and questioned why Latin America had not achieved technological development comparable to more advanced nations, pointing to U.S. policies as a contributing factor.

The two leaders announced new bilateral agreements in defense, public #security, #agriculture, #culture and entrepreneurship. Boric also accepted Lula's invitation to attend the upcoming #BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro scheduled for July 6-7.

📖 Word of the week: BRICS Day

The BRICS Day is an unofficial holiday that commemorates the first BRICS Summit held on 16-17 June 2009 in Ekaterinburg, Russia, where cooperation between the bloc's member countries was initiated.

⭐ History of the BRICS Day

On that day, the heads of Brazil, Russia, India, and China gathered to discuss key issues of international cooperation, the formation of a new multipolar system, and joint actions in world politics.

The leaders present at the summit were Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Brazil), Dmitry Medvedev (Russia), Manmohan Singh (India) and Hu Jintao (China). During the event, two main meetings were held, in which participants discussed topical issues and worked out joint solutions.

One of the significant outcomes of the summit were two joint statements. One raised the issue of global food security and the other planned the next BRIC Heads of State meeting in Brazil in 2010.
