The Office of the President announced that Lula, who is set to depart from the Brasilia Air Base, will lead the Brazilian delegation to advocate for his administration’s environmental commitments, boost financing mechanisms to preserve tropical forests, and meet with international leaders.

The Foreign Ministry noted that the president is scheduled to take the floor twice.

The first one will be during the opening ceremony, reserved for a select group of heads of State, and the second one will take place during a session open to all delegations. His remarks are expected to last about three minutes.

Between these two appearances, the president will attend a meeting of the Tropical Forests Forever Fund (TFFF), a mechanism his nation championed to finance the conservation of these areas.

After his stay in Turkiye, Lula will travel to Manila, the Philippines, to meet with his counterpart, Ferdinand Marcos, and attend the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit.
