A global ally against poverty that Brazil has proposed to counter the rising number of people going hungry in the world is expected to be supported by more than 100 nations, according to a Portuguese minister.
Wellington Dias, the minister of social development, confirmed to Reuters that he will go to the UN next week to encourage the alliance, which is President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s main initiative to combat poverty in Brazil and around the world.
Brazil has made strides in reducing food insecurity and hunger in Latin America’s largest market since Lula took company last year for a second non-consecutive word, the minister said.
Brazil, a member of the G20 group of wealthy nations, anticipates substantial support for the effort this time.
The G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro is scheduled for November, but Diaz said all concerns with the agreement’s terms have been resolved, opening the door for numerous nations to reveal their support as early as July at a G20 gathering in the Portuguese area.
” We are working signed agreements, and I think it is possible to achieve over a hundred places by November”, he said.
