Simone, who is the governor of Brazil at the IDB, recalled that the Brazilian people chose democracy and the rule of law in last year’s elections. “In light of this, I want to reinforce that our government is now highly committed to the law and human rights. A government that believes in social inclusion, in the elimination of poverty, in defense of the environment, in gender equity, in sustainable development, in science”, she highlighted.

The minister also recalled that more than 30 million Brazilians suffer from hunger in the country and stressed that “income transfer programs in Brazil are once again part of the national agenda”.

Let’s transform Brazil’s economy to be greener. This is the commitment that I bring from the President of the Republic of Brazil, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva,” she said.

Simone Tebet also reinforced the country’s commitment to the development of the entire region and active participation in multilateral forums that discuss crucial issues for the world. “All of our government’s efforts are aimed at integrating Latin America, with special attention to Mercosur, neighboring countries and countries in the Americas and the Caribbean,” she said.
