It is reported that Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has canceled his trip to Russia to attend the BRICS leaders’ meeting. In fact, he suffered a minor brain hemorrhage as a result of a head injury.
A statement from the presidential office said Lula (78) will now participate in the BRICS summit via video conference. Before this incident, he was scheduled to leave for Russia at 5 pm on Sunday to attend the BRICS leaders’ meeting.
