Brazilian President Lula da Silva believes that the G20 summit is not the right place to discuss Russia’s war against Ukraine, and the UN General Assembly, where the leaders of states and governments from around the world will gather on September 19, is more suitable for this.
That’s according to CNN Brazil, Ukrinform reports.
“We will have the United Nations General Assembly from September 19 onwards. This is the place to discuss the war. This is the place to discuss peace,” he said, explaining that the G20 was created after the 2008 crisis and brought discussions about economic issues, about the Bretton Woods institutions, the World Bank and the IMF.
“That’s why we don’t think that here, in India, is the ideal place to discuss the war,” Lula added.
Lula reiterated that Brazil “will not get involved in the war,” but that he intends to be present in the peace negotiations.
