The agenda commences with a private audience with Pope Leo XIV, marking the first encounter between the two leaders. A primary objective of this meeting is to personally reinforce an invitation for the pontiff to attend the COP30 summit in Belém. This invitation was formally extended previously via a letter carried by the vice-president. Subsequently, the president’s focus will shift to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). He will deliver remarks to open a week of high-level meetings aimed at combating global food insecurity. The president will celebrate Brazil’s significant achievement of being removed from the global Hunger Map for a second time. His schedule also includes a crucial bilateral meeting with the Prime Minister of Bangladesh. Their discussions will center on the Global Alliance against Hunger, a Brazilian-led initiative launched during its G20 presidency. This alliance has already attracted 200 members, including nations and international organizations, highlighting its growing global importance.
