As of December 2023, Brazil, under President Lula da Silva, has taken on a pivotal role as the chair of the G20 forum, a position that significantly boosts its global influence.
This leadership role provides Brazil with a platform to showcase and promote its national policies on an international stage. Additionally, in a move to ensure comprehensive regional representation, Brazil has extended invitations to Paraguay and Uruguay to participate in the G20 debates in 2024.
This inclusion of all active Mercosur members in the G20 discussions demonstrates Brazil’s commitment to fostering regional unity and cooperation within this major global economic forum.
