German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has invited Brazilian President Lula da Silva for talks and a joint cabinet meeting in Berlin in the second half of this year, in a sign of strengthening ties between Europe and South America’s two biggest economies.
The invitation comes despite the leaders’ differing views on how to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and what role China could play in any peace efforts to end the war.
