Brazil sees over 100 countries join alliance against hunger
13/7/2024 7:57
More than 100 countries are expected to back a global alliance against hunger that Brazil has proposed to counter the increasing number of people going hungry in the world, a Brazilian minister said.
Minister of Social Development Wellington Dias told Reuters in an interview on Thursday (Jul 11) that he will travel to the United Nations next week to promote the alliance, a cornerstone initiative of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to reduce poverty in Brazil and worldwide.
Since Lula took office last year for a third non-consecutive term, Brazil has made strides in reducing food insecurity and poverty in Latin America's largest economy, the minister said.
