Colombian President To
Visit Brazil in February
Rio de Janeiro -
Colombian President
Alvaro Uribe will visit
Brazil next month to
meet with his Brazilian
counterpart Luiz Inacio
Lula da Silva, a
presidential spokesman
said Tuesday.
Uribe proposed a visit
to Brazil during a
15-minute telephone
conversation with Lula
earlier in the day, said
Marcelo Baumbach.
In December, Uribe had
to cancel his
participation in a
regional summit in Costa
do Sauipe, a coastal
resort in northeastern
Brazil, due to floods
that affected several
parts in Colombia.
During the conversation,
the two presidents said
they are working hard to
minimize the impact of
the global financial
crisis on their
countries, especially
the poorer population,
Baumbach said.
