Main Points
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva thanked Peruvian opposition leader Keiko Fujimori for her congratulatory message following Fujimori’s victory in the second round of Peru’s general elections. Through his account on X (formerly Twitter), Lula wrote that he looks forward to celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Brazil‑Peru partnership in 2027 and to strengthening regional integration with a new sustainable development model for the Amazon. He added that the model would unify conservation and sustainable use of the rainforest while recognizing the role of indigenous peoples and local communities. Fujimori, who won the Peruvian presidential election with 52 % of the vote against her opponent, had earlier congratulated Lula on his re‑election and expressed a desire to reinforce the strategic alliance, integration, cooperation and sustainable development of the shared Amazon region. She noted that the bicentennial of diplomatic relations would be an opportunity to deepen this partnership. Lula’s own election was decided in the second round on 29 April 2024, when he received 64.2 million votes (52 %) to Flávio Bolsonaro’s 59.8 million (48 %). The margin was 4.4 million votes. In the first round, Bolsonaro had led with 47 % of the vote, a two‑point advantage over Lula. Lula will assume his fourth term—his second consecutive term—on 5 January 2025 in Brasília. He is 81 years old, and no Brazilian president has previously been elected to four separate terms. Article source: El Comercio | Image credit: El Comercio
