01:35 - 22/02/2024 Thursday



Brazil is holding its first G20 Foreign Ministers Meeting on Wednesday.

Ministers from the world's largest economies are gathered in Rio de Janeiro with Israel's attacks on the Gaza Strip and the Russia-Ukraine war taking center stage on the agenda.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who pushed the international community to unite in a peace bloc to resolve the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, took the rotating presidency of the G20 from India in December.

The attendance of representatives from the US, Russia and China underscores the relevance of the diplomatic event in the face of global tensions.

Lula's role as president of the G20 and the ministerial meeting follows his recent comments about Israel where he compared Tel Aviv's offensive to the Holocaust.
