In Brazil, Emmanuel Macron is banking on Lula to rally the “global South”. The French president began a three-day visit to this Latin American country on Tuesday.

Reform of international institutions, protection of large tropical forests, economic development and fight against inequalities. Lula is not mistaken: these issues are also considered essential by France. The two leaders will take advantage of Macron's visit to determine objectives that they will pursue together, first at the G20 in Rio in November, then at the COP30 climate conference in 2025.
