Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has postponed his trip to China, where he was set to hold important talks with President Xi Jinping, indefinitely due to a pneumonia recovery, as announced by the government on Saturday. Lula, who took office at the beginning of the year succeeding right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro, hoped to use this trip to restore his country's role in global diplomacy, with discussions in Beijing expected to focus on enhancing trade relations as well as the war in Ukraine.
