One image exhibiting the leaders elevating their arms beneath a big tree has been edited to indicate them holding crimson balloons within the form of a coronary heart.
One other portrays the pair hand in hand, smiling as they take a look at the horizon whereas floating in a ship alongside the Amazon River.
“They will marry within the Amazon and have their honeymoon in Paris,” joked one person on X, whereas others stated photos from the journey may make up a marriage album.
Macron’s heat relations with Lula mark a departure from the frosty ties between the French chief and Brazil’s former right-wing president Jair Bolsonaro, who led the nation from 2019 to 2022.
His journey, which can finish Thursday in Brasilia when he meets Lula on the presidential palace, noticed the 2 leaders announce a billion-dollar inexperienced funding plan for the Amazon.
France, the seventh-largest economic system on the earth, and Brazil, the ninth-largest, are thought-about key gamers in a geopolitical scene marked by rivalry between China and the US.
Paris sees Brasilia as a bridge to massive rising economies whose voices Brazil is making an attempt to amplify by way of its presidency of the G20, and membership of the BRICS+ group.
