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

I will never tire from repeating my commitment to ensuring that every Brazilian can have breakfast, lunch and supper every day.

If with so little we have done so much in Brazil, imagine what could have been done on a global scale, if the fight against hunger and poverty were a real priority for the international community.

Well-fed people can enhance their dignity, their health and their learning capacity. Putting resources into social programs is not expenditure. It is investment.

I don't need arms, and neither does anyone else... At the very least, a ban would prevent fights from turning deadly.

I know how to move between political camps. When everyone in the world hated (Libyan leader Moammar) Gadhafi, I paid him an official visit. It caused an uproar - Lula's visiting the devil!

I respect the path Cuba chooses to take.
