Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva arrived in Madrid yesterday
for talks with Spanish leaders on bilateral cooperation and the current global
financial crisis.
In his meeting with Spain's Prime Minister Jose Luis
Rodriguez Zapatero, the two leaders will discuss the world financial crisis,
bilateral cooperation, the Doha Round of global trade talks as well as the
possible negotiation between the European Union and the Common Market of the
South.
On the current international financial crisis, the two leaders have
earlier said that any unilateral action would not be enough to stop a crisis of
such magnitude.
The Brazilian president will receive the Don Quijote Prize
from King Juan Carlos of Spain today, according to the Brazilian Foreign
Ministry.
Lula will travel to New Delhi tomorrow to attend a forum of
political consultants in which Brazil, India and South Africa will
participate.
