Lula in Paris: Keffiyeh, Macron Meeting, and COP30 on the Agenda

President Lula's visit to France begins with a show of support and controversy. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva arrived in Paris on June 4th, 2025 for a week-long official visit. His arrival was met with a mix of supporters and media. One supporter presented Lula with a Palestinian keffiyeh, which he wore. This gesture comes after Lula's recent comments referring to the situation in Gaza as 'genocide', provoking a response from the Israeli embassy in Brazil. Lula's visit includes crucial meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron, focusing on trade agreements and preparations for COP30, to be held in Belém, Brazil, at the end of the year. The video also shows Lula's planned visit to other French cities, including Lyon and Nice. The visit to Nice coincides with a UN conference on the oceans. The visit to Toulon, initially planned, was cancelled. The French government cited its involvement in building four conventional submarines and the first nuclear-powered submarine for Brazil, as a reason for the cancellation. Lula's visit to France is a significant event in international relations, highlighting the complex political landscape and Brazil's role in global affairs.
