Brazil’s Lula to join other world leaders at Asean summit
The Brazilian president will join US President Donald Trump and Canada's Mark Carney in Manila for the Asean summit and related meetings from Nov 15 to 18.
Brazil's 81-year-old former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is set to participate in the upcoming Asean summit in Manila, alongside a host of other world leaders. This follows his surprise victory in last month's election, which US President Donald Trump described as a "disgrace."
Lula will be a guest of honor at the summit, hosted by Philippine President Dominic Imperial. At the event, Trump, Lula, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney are among the world leaders confirmed to attend.
The summit, taking place from November 15-18, will also see representatives from Asean's East Asian dialogue partners China, Japan, and South Korea. However, China has yet to announce its official representative. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is expected to attend as well, according to the host nation.
