Ukrainian leader holds meetings with Lula and Boric
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Wednesday met separately with his Brazilian and Chilean colleagues on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
After a frustrated encounter during the G7 Summit in Hiroshima earlier this year, Zelensky finally met with Brazil's Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
“We had a good conversation about the importance of the ways to build peace and to always maintain an open dialogue between our countries,” Lula wrote on social networks. He also confirmed that his former foreign minister and special Advisor Celso Amorim would participate in the Copenhagen process in the search for a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine.
The meeting took place “in a calm and friendly atmosphere, in which they exchanged information about each of the countries and the current situation in the world,” Brazil's current top diplomat Mauro Vieira told reporters.
