Bolsonaro delivered his speech online during the forum’s plenary meeting on Friday. “SPIEF is the mouthpiece of a new geopolitical and geo-economic landscape that is being created in Eurasia - a region that is acquiring an ever greater and decisive role in the epicentre of huge transformations of the contemporary world,” the Brazilian leader stressed.

He added that the forum reflects the urgent need of the international community’s efforts for restoring healthcare, the economy and sustainable development.

“The forum contributes to developing new partnerships and fostering existing ties required for building environmental prosperity in the future,” Bolsonaro underlined.
