Chatham House awards Brazil’s Lula

Posted 06 November 2009 by David Miliband  | 
I am sorry I am not in London this week to meet President Lula when he receives the Chatham House Prize, awarded annually to the statesperson deemed by Chatham House members to have made the most significant contribution to improving international relations in the previous year. President Lula's leadership of Brazil, domestically and internationally, has been remarkable.

Brazil has made itself a key player on a range of international issues, bridging traditional North-South and East-West divides with policies and approaches of humanity and rationality. (I’m biased, I suppose, because the Foreign Minister Celso Amorim was a student of my dad’s.) In the run up to the Copenhagen climate summit we will need Brazil more than ever. Here is President Lula’s UN speech: http://www.un.org/ga/64/generaldebate/pdf/BR_en.pdf
