CHILE-BRAZIL: Boric and Lula call for closer alignment
After Chile’s President Gabriel Boric hosted his Brazilian counterpart Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Santiago last year, Lula returned the favour in Brasília. Boric and his Chilean delegation visited Brazil from 21-24 April, and the tone of the speeches made by officials from both governments emphasised their commitments to multilateralism. Both left-wing presidents have sought to contrast themselves from the protectionist stance adopted by the US under President Donald Trump, whose tariffs could provide Boric and Lula with more motivation to boost regional integration.
