Brazilian President Lula said today: "I am very happy to return for the sixth time to this great country, India. The meeting between India and Brazil is a significant encounter: we are not only the two largest democratic countries in the Global South, but also the meeting of the world's pharmacy and the world's granary, the meeting of a digital superpower and a renewable energy superpower. We are both biodiversity powers and important poles of cultural industries. We are both defenders of multilateralism and peace. Prime Minister Modi of India invited me on this state visit and to attend the AI Impact Summit, which demonstrates the compatibility and mutual trust that connect our two countries."
Comment: In the context of intensifying great power rivalry and profound adjustments in the global governance system, India and Brazil have chosen to support each other and move forward together, essentially to occupy a more favorable position in the multipolar landscape. By strengthening cooperation in trade, technology, energy, and digital fields, they can expand their respective strategic space and form a united front on multilateral platforms such as BRICS and G20, thereby enhancing the overall influence of Southern countries globally.
