Navigating Brazil’s G20 Presidency: A Conversation with Ambassador Maurício Lyrio
Overview
Brazil’s G20 presidency offers a unique platform to promote President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s foreign policy agenda. In more than 100 high-level meetings throughout the year, including a foreign ministers’ summit in February and a gathering of presidents later this year, Brazil hopes to build support for a Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, advocate for reforms to international institutions, and accelerate the global energy transition, among other sustainable development goals. Brazil has described its leadership of the G20 as a “historic and emblematic moment in the country’s return to prominence on the international stage.”
To learn more about Brazil’s ambitions for its G20 presidency, and how it plans to build consensus among the diverse G20 members, join us on Thursday, March 14, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. (ET) for a fireside chat with Ambassador Maurício Lyrio, secretary for economic and financial affairs at Brazil’s Foreign Ministry and Brazil’s G20 “Sherpa.”
