(Opinion) In recent months, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has been actively engaging with the international community, and the results are evident.
According to data from Radar+55, Brazil’s reputation soared by 202% in the third quarter, reaching 1,297 points.
These numbers are a significant endorsement of Lula’s diplomacy efforts. Lula’s presence at multiple global forums has been a catalyst for positive change.
Events like the G20 meeting, the 15th BRICS Summit, and the UN General Assembly are cases in point.
Furthermore, a summit involving Celac and the European Union put Brazil in a favorable light on foreign soil.
These platforms gave Lula an opportunity to voice Brazil’s stance on critical issues, elevating the country’s profile.
However, it’s not just about attendance. The Brazilian government also organized the Amazon Summit in Belém.
Although the outcome fell short of expectations, the initiative was noteworthy.
Even if the summit didn’t result in concrete solutions for environmental issues, it showed Brazil’s willingness to address them.
The positive coverage doesn’t stop at Brazil’s borders.
An analysis of 375 articles across seven countries, including Germany, the U.S., and Argentina, showed a growing interest in Brazil’s economic progress.
Argentina, in particular, contributed 87% to Brazil’s reputation score for the quarter. Alongside these diplomatic efforts, domestic politics also played a role.
The government’s push for tax reform garnered positive media attention, especially concerning fiscal responsibility.
