President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva pitched a global alliance against hunger and poverty, leveraging Brazil’s presidency of the Group of 20 to make an appeal to officials from the world’s most powerful economies.
Lula kicked off the plan spotlighting his international ambitions on Wednesday at a meeting of G-20 finance chiefs in Rio de Janeiro.
