00:00And we go live now to Colombia as the country hosts the high-level forum between SALAC and the African
00:07Union.
00:08We listen now to the statement of the President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
00:15The debates that were held held in the last days in Bogota,
00:21they took the priority in line with their understanding with the African Union,
00:29despite being implemented public diverse politics,
00:35Brazil is still far to solve their debt with Africa for more than 350 years of slavery.
00:48To be united against slavery,
00:52that is the best tribute we can send to our shared history.
00:57My friends, 340 million people face hunger in Latin America and the Caribbean.
01:09This is a reality, an unacceptable reality, in a world that produces sufficient food for everybody.
01:17Latin America and the Caribbean have proved that it is possible to move forward with more
01:25efficacious politics.
01:29Africa has a great agricultural potential and can become a great power in production.
01:42Brazilian enterprise of investigation went to the African country with an office of cooperation.
01:51Last year, we made in Brazil the second dialogue Africa-Brasil about food security.
02:05In that same solidarity spirit was born.
02:13The initiative already has the participation of 113 countries.
02:22The second axis is to make front of the climate change.
02:28Egypt and Brazil host the cops against the climate cops.
02:38Despite we are not directly responsible for climate change, we are the most affected.
02:48We have in common the goal of sharing the responsibility of taking care of the two major cells,
03:00tropical cells of the world, the Amazonia and the Congo.
03:04We cooperate in diverse forums to combat environmental crimes.
03:14We work together to the operation of Forest World Fund.
03:28It's not about the nations.
03:41Science has already proved that without a transition, without low carbon issues, it will be inevitable
03:51to avoid a climate crisis.
03:57Transition to clean energy still contrasts with lack of access to electricity in most of our continents.
04:22This makes possible the decarbonization of the economy.
04:28Our countries also have important reserves of critical resources that make possible the transition to low carbon economies.
04:44The cooperation between the countries that possess these resources will be important to add value to our own patrimony.
04:56And avoid investments in neo-activism.
05:01Our continents cannot stay behind.
05:12This challenge must be most of our relations.
05:27In a matter of high technology, we have a youth.
05:35Low cost energy and the resources are necessary, but in order to jump to that technological advance,
05:46we must invest in digital infrastructure and human resources, qualified human resources.
05:58The artificial intelligence in Brazil contemplates investment in finance,
06:08joint financial cooperation and investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure in Brazil.
06:21We need cooperation and cooperation in the regulation of the virtual world.
06:31It is not a mechanism of control.
06:34It is, above all, an instrument of inclusion against people, among people.
06:44Brazil is updating their youth recently.
07:00The commercial exchange and influx that give another access in our relation.
07:15Africa is a continent of great dynamism that moves forward for a youth, for young people.
07:393.4 billion dollars. Mercosur has already an exchange, a commercial exchange with Egypt
07:51and also with Africa Austral.
07:54It is strategic to prioritize synergies between the Inter-American Bank of Development.
08:05It is important to broaden the financial of common projects.
08:14Ladies and gentlemen, our continents have more than half of the countries
08:22and a quarter of the world population, but still we are characterized by an equal order.
08:37It doesn't have any sense that Latin America and Africa does not have an adequate representation
08:46in the United Nations Council.
08:57The conflicts in the Middle East are driving up the food and energy prices.
09:16This is the objective of the ministerial meeting that Brazil will organize in April 9.
09:24Brazil, Latin America and the Caribbean work together to Africa in different multilateral initiatives.
09:40For more than ten years, from 2025, in a declaration of human rights,
09:54Brazil supports the resolution of the African group of the General Assembly that declares that the human trafficking,
10:08African human trafficking is one of the worst human atrocities of humanity.
10:30Without the cohesion acting of the South-South cooperation,
10:37we risk of crystallizing a new scenario of paralysis that goes against the commercial agreements.
10:49My friends, the bridge between our regions is not made only of agreements and declarations.
10:59It's made also from people, from a diaspora that unite us.
11:09The territories are not only soil, but history alive.
11:15Latin America and the Caribbean and Africa are the same territory, essential, marked by resistance, fight, dignity.
11:26My friends, I didn't want to pass this opportunity without saying that I am extremely worried
11:40with what is happening in today's world.
11:44It is important not to forget ever that the world today leaves the major concentration of conflict since the Second
11:56World War.
11:57It is important not to let pass that last year more than 200 billion dollars in arms and words.
12:13And yet still we have 630 people with hunger.
12:16We have millions of human beings that don't have access to education and others, millions of women and children that
12:31are the result of these wars that are left abandoned,
12:35without documents without promise.
12:38withoutase it is包ins, without documents without trauma,
