The government of Venezuela, according to Brazilian media, has canceled a bilateral meeting that was due to take place this Monday between the presidents of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, and of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The meeting was on Lula da Silva’s official agenda, which was amended in the early afternoon.
This was reported by the Brazilian media the decision to cancel the meeting came from Maduro whose trip to Argentina was also said to have been canceled for security reasons.
Brazil’s president arrived in Argentina on Sunday for a visit in which he will launch two integration projects, the starting point for restoring the ground lost in international affairs by his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro.
Lula da Silva’s official visit to Buenos Aires precedes his participation on Tuesday in the Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), in which the 33 countries of the region participate – including Brazil, which returns to the regional forum from which Bolsonaro had withdrawn the country in January 2020, in line with Donald Trump’s interest in emptying the voice of Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, authoritarian regimes in the region.
After Argentina, Lula da Silva will visit Uruguay on Wednesday for a meeting with President Luis Lacalle Pou.
