“In Latin America and the Caribbean geographical proximity to the world’s greatest power is inescapable, especially at the time of hegemonic resurgence. Brazil does not fit anyone’s yard”, Lula said in an allusion to the United States.
“ We need partners with a positive development agenda. Ideological differences cannot be obstacles to greater integration between neighbors,” he said.
