The president of Brazil, Lula da Silva, assured this Monday that the country, after having been “six years away from the world”, is prepared to return to being a “big, important and attractive country”.

Brazil definitely wants to build association policies, we don’t want hegemonic relations with just anyone, we want to build alliances”, said the Brazilian head of state during the Portugal-Brazil Business Forum, which takes place in Matosinhos, in the Porto district.

At this moment, he stressed, Brazil is recovering all the policies that have been “dismantled” in recent years, that is, those of social inclusion.
“My government’s priority is to resume the development of social inclusion in the country in a sustainable manner,” he stressed.
