Brazil’s Lula ‘very touched’ by musical tribute in India during lunch with PM Modi

Brazilian President Lula was moved by India's gesture of playing Brazilian songs during his state visit, recalling a similar surprise he arranged for PM Modi in Brazil. India and Brazil set a target to raise bilateral trade to $20 billion in five years and signed agreements on minerals, digital partnership, and energy. Both leaders emphasized deepening strategic cooperation, especially in renewable energy, and highlighted the importance of India-Brazil ties in global forums.
