Claudia Sheinbaum will travel this Monday to Rio de Janeiro to participate in the G20 summit. During the event, she has scheduled key bilateral meetings, will seek to strengthen her connection with Lula Da Silva, and will promote the "Sembrando Vida" program. This plan is framed within the fight against global poverty, a goal supported by the Brazilian government.
The Mexican president will attend a discussion panel on new global governance bodies, thus demonstrating her support for multilateralism and her interest in being a relevant economic partner for the West. This will be her first official trip outside of Mexico since assuming office, being encouraged by other key government figures such as Chancellor Juan Ramón De la Fuente and Chief of Staff Lázaro Cárdenas Batel.
During her stay, Sheinbaum will seek to establish alliances with leaders facing an uncertain outlook due to Donald Trump's presidency in the United States. With Lula's presence at Sheinbaum's swearing-in ceremony, there is an aim to strengthen a regional center-left bloc, opposing potential policies from the upcoming U.S. government.
In this context, the presence at the summit of relevant political figures such as Justin Trudeau, Shigeru Ishiba, Yoon Seuk-yoel, Keir Starmer, and Ursula Von der Leyen is highlighted, who share important issues with Mexico such as borders, trade, and security in their relations with Washington.
Lula proposes a global agreement for the world's great fortunes to tax funds aimed at combating climate change and promoting development in Africa, a proposal supported by Sheinbaum. Meanwhile, the Mexican president seeks to polarize with supporters of Jair Bolsonaro through a more institutional stance and defense of democracy, distancing herself from her ideological past.
