Lula on a State Visit to Mexico

Mexico, Aug 5 (Prensa Latina) President of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da
Silva, is expected to arrive to Mexico on Sunday on a two-day state
visit, as part of a tour that will take him to several nations in
Central America and the Caribbean.

According to his schedule for Monday, Lula is expected to meet Mexican
and Brazilian business people and lay a wreath at the Altar to the
Homeland, in Chapultepec Forest, after which he will be received by his
Mexican peer, Felipe Calderon, at the National Palace.

Both presidents are expected to hold close and open-door meetings and
sign agreements.

The Brazilian Foreign Ministry's Director for Mexico, Central America
and the Caribbean, Gonzalo Mourao, recently commented that there is an
intense rapprochement between Brazil and Mexico, expected to be
intensified during this trip.

He added that the main objective of this visit is to give a boost to
trade between both countries in order to double exchanges by 2010 (it
reached 1.70 million last year).

The Brazilian President is also expected to meet with representatives
of the Upper House of Congress and with the head of Government of the
Federal District, Marcelo Ebrard.

Lula's tour will also take him to Nicaragua, Honduras, Jamaica and
Panama. He is accompanied by several ministers and a delegation of 50
Brazilian entrepreneurs.
