Excitement is building in New Delhi as Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva announces his official February visit to India. Shared on X, the news comes ahead of his US trip to meet President Donald Trump, post a South Korea stopover. This itinerary showcases Lula’s focus on forging key international bonds.
A phone chat with Trump sealed the post-India Washington meet, dates pending confirmation. Lula’s potential attendance at an AI summit in the capital could spotlight collaborative tech innovations between India and Brazil.
Building on a recent Modi-Lula hotline conversation, the leaders reiterated vows to supercharge their strategic ties. They hailed strides in commerce, investments, defense, energy, health, agriculture, and public diplomacy, while tackling global and regional hotspots through enhanced multilateralism.
Modi’s prompt invitation has led to this visit. Flashback to Modi’s July 2025 Brazil sojourn: dialogues spanned trade amplification to $20 billion via Mercosur expansion, security and defense, pharma, space exploration, renewables, food systems, infra development, digital payments infrastructure, traditional healing, yoga, athletics, arts, and citizen links. Energy cooperation eyed hydrocarbons and green investments.
Cutting-edge fields—critical minerals, AI, supercomputing, digital partnerships, mobility—emerged as frontiers. Lula’s arrival heralds a transformative phase, likely yielding pacts that drive mutual growth and resilience in an unpredictable global order.
