New York – In a bilateral meeting this Wednesday morning (25/9), Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer discussed reform of international organizations. ITU metropolitan city found that Starmer told Lula that he supported Brazil’s inclusion in the UN Security Council.
In his speech at the opening of the 79th General Assembly, Tuesday (24/9), Lula defended the representation of Africa and Latin America, countries known as the Global South, on the UN Security Council.
Earlier, at a G20 ministerial meeting held on the sidelines of the UN meeting, Lula defended the revision of the organisation’s Charter as a way to overhaul the multilateral organisation.
“In its current configuration, the Security Council has shown itself incapable of resolving conflicts, let alone preventing them… With more representation, especially from Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, we would have a greater chance of overcoming the polarization that is paralyzing the countries of the world,” Lula said at Wednesday’s meeting.
