Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced on Tuesday, September 3, that his Brazilian counterpart, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, will travel to Mexico on September 30 to say goodbye to him and attend the inauguration of the president-elect, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, on October 1.

The last time Lula visited Mexico was in March 2022, before the Brazilian presidential elections in October of that year.

On that occasion, he met at the National Palace with López Obrador, who stressed that it was a “fraternal meeting with Lula,” with whom they are “united by the brotherhood” of both “peoples” and “the fight for equality and justice.”

Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo’s inauguration ceremony has sparked controversy over the invitation to Russian President Vladimir Putin, but the Mexican government and the president-elect’s transition team have argued that it is the country’s tradition to invite all governments with which there are diplomatic relations.

López Obrador now argued that it will be up to Juan Ramón de la Fuente, head of Sheinbaum Pardo’s transition team and her next foreign minister, to “announce if Putin has confirmed his attendance.”
