China, the great bet of Luiz Inácio Lula da Sllva in foreign policy, will have to wait: the Brazilian president had to postpone the trip that began this Friday to the great Asian power, affected by mild pneumonia.
Lula, 77, had lost his voice on Wednesday in Santa Luzía, a small city in northeastern Brazil, when he was to inaugurate an electrical park of the Neoenergía company, a subsidiary of the Spanish Iberdrola. She came up on stage with the speech papers in her hands and then decided not to speak.
Admitted to the Hospital Sirio Libanés, a reference center in Sao Paulo, the doctors detected mild pneumonia. The trip to China, which included a delegation of almost 300 people, with governors, mayors, ministers, parliamentarians and businessmen, was postponed until Sunday, although always at the expense of a medical evaluation.
Lula visited the White House in February, although it was a minor visit compared to the infrastructure and technology agreements he plans to sign with China, including the possibility of cooperation on a 6G mobile phone network. Lula will hold a meeting with the Huawei company, targeted by the United States and the European Union for alleged espionage.
Brazil is a partner of China in the BRICS, a group of countries that complete Russia, India and South Africa and that intends to expand with Argentina and Iran. Lula will also speak about the mediation plan in the war in Ukraine proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping.
