On Monday (the 26th), the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, said that the results of the elections in Brazil clearly demonstrate that fellow citizens recognize the exceptional leadership qualities of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, supporting his policy to ensure the country’s sustainable socio-economic development and to defend its sovereignty and its legitimate interests on the international stage.
“Your personal contribution to strengthening the strategic partnership between Brazil and Russia is invaluable. We will certainly continue to work closely together to further develop fruitful bilateral cooperation in all areas and to maintain constructive engagement within the UN, BRICS, the G20, and other multilateral platforms,” says the message sent by the Kremlin on Monday.
