I believe that it is very difficult in the world of today to continue with G-8 only without taking in account the importance of Brazil, China, India, many in the world economy, because these countries are great consumers, large consumers, and we're also becoming great producers, and also because we were better prepared than the rich countries for the nowadays global crisis.

Brazil has rediscovered itself, and this rediscovery is being expressed in its people's enthusiasm and their desire to mobilize to face the huge problems that lie ahead of us.

The true path to peace is shared development. If we do not want war to go global, justice must go global

No sustainable development, environmental harmony or lasting security will happen if we are unable to eradicate hunger and extreme inequality

Hunger is actually the worst weapon of mass destruction. It claims millions of victims each year.

All countries have problems with China's economic power.

The growing use of biofuel will be an inestimable contribution to the generation of income, social inclusion and reduction of poverty in many poor countries of the world.
