Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva opened his participation in the 68th Mercosur Summit, held in Asunción, by calling for a minute of silence for the victims of the earthquakes that occurred last week in Venezuela.

"I want to begin by dedicating my solidarity to the people and Government of Venezuela for the incalculable human and material losses caused (...). Tragedies like this invite us to reflect on the importance of regional solidarity," Lula said, revealing that he spoke last night with Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodríguez.

The presidents of Chile, José Antonio Kast; Ecuador, Daniel Noboa; Paraguay, Santiago Peña; and Uruguay, Yamandú Orsi, joined in the tribute.
