'Brazil is back' : Lula receives a superstar welcome at COP27.
With a 'back to normality' message, Brazil's Lula seeks to improve foreign ties
LISBON (Reuters) -Brazil's Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva travelled from the COP27 summit in Egypt to Portugal on Friday to tell officials that his country is back to "normal" as he strives to improve foreign ties and Brazil's image abroad.
The leftist, who won the presidential election last month against right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro, is due to start his third term in January. Until then, he is on a mission to tell the world that "Brazil is back".
During firebrand Bolsonaro's four years in office, Brazil's ties with many other countries frayed, not least because Amazon deforestation soared under his watch.
On Wednesday, Lula received a superstar welcome at COP27 as he pledged to recommit the rainforest nation to tackling the climate crisis and offered to host future U.N. climate talks. The president-elect met with climate envoys from China and the United States, as well as the EU climate policy chief.
