Lula begins international trips without outlining his next term
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva began a series of overseas trips after speaking to the nation on Sunday.
He is due to visit Turkey, the Philippines, Uruguay and the United States, with the travel scheduled to continue until mid-December.
In his speech, Lula celebrated his election victory and his previous term, but offered no concrete plans for governing next.
He also did not address voters who backed his defeated opponent.
Lula has promised a “new way of governing,” but his remarks did not explain what that would involve.
The lack of detail leaves questions about how he will handle urgent national issues and meet the expectations of the broad coalition that helped elect him.
His next term’s governing plans remain unclear as he travels abroad.
