Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Brazilian Portuguese:[luˈiziˈnasjuˈlulɐdɐˈsiwvɐ]ⓘ; born Luiz Inácio da Silva; 27 October 1945),[1] known mononymously as Lula, is a Brazilian politician who is the 39th and current president of Brazil since 2023. A member of the Workers' Party, Lula was also the 35th president from 2003 to 2011.

He also played a role in foreign policy, both on a regional level and as part of global trade and environment negotiations.[2] Duri
