247 – President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva appointed the G20 National Committee on Thursday (20), demanding efforts from the group of authorities to hold the summit and other initiatives next year. “It is more important than the World Cup,” Lula said.

The President also praised Central Bank President Roberto Campos Neto for attending the meeting, and stressed the importance of the G20 meeting next year.

According to him, Brazil is considered a safe haven for investments in green energy to develop the country. Lula once again advocated reform of global governance. The other axis proposed for the G20 presidency was the fight against hunger and inequality.

“The G20 Summit will be the main event that Brazil will host in the coming years. The world’s major economies will gather here. We face the challenge of steering the energy transition, as well as fighting world hunger. Brazil will work to be a safe haven for everyone who wants to invest in sustainable energy.” ».
