00:00 Thank you very much for sharing your concerns and the accomplishments that the previous
00:11 works and investigations have had.
00:16 Good morning to everyone present here and especially to President Lula.
00:34 I would also like to salute all the heads of states who are present here today.
00:54 I
01:08 would like also to salute all governmental organizations and entities who are present
01:16 here or engaged with this summit and this topic that we're addressing today.
01:36 This summit sets the intentions of President Lula of preserving the Hamas and Hamas, which
01:51 is a very important topic as preserving the environment in the rest of the world.
02:02 Working with the rest of the countries who integrate this organization, we are committed
02:14 to listen to the population in order to identify the major problems who are affecting our population
02:28 to be able to solve them and relate this solution also to the preservation of the Hamasans.
02:41 Social participation is essential when addressing the problems that we're facing today.
02:55 The meetings held in August 4th and August 6th.
03:07 In those meetings, 12 Brazilian ministers and several leaders from social organizations
03:18 as well as several social organizations dealt with problems such as production, social concerns,
03:42 climate change, the defense of social rights and human rights, as well as other topics
04:00 regarding the Hamasans and racism in this area.
04:07 And I would like to say that this meeting has been a success.
04:18 We proposed and created new models on the basis of sustainable development.
04:34 Developed by the Brazilian government, listening to the concerns of the people and also regarding
04:42 the problems that the Hamasans are having.
04:51 In those days, I would like to affirm that governments heard the voice of the Amazonian
05:01 people and also heard the voice of the Hamasans as well.
05:14 It was a space to hear the voice of black people, of indigenous people, women, children
05:26 and people in general.
05:36 Which is what we have been hoping for.
05:40 The people to be listened to and governments understanding their concerns in order to create
05:50 solutions.
05:59 Finally I would like to remember the words of Chico Mendes who said, "After fighting
06:16 for a long time, I thought I was fighting to preserve the Hamasans, but then I realized
06:22 that I was fighting not only for the Hamasans, but the people, the Amazonian people as well."
06:27 Thank you.
