Lago, while talking to ANI, said that for developing countries like India and Brazil, multilateralism is the answer.

"I think that for most developing countries and even more for economies like Brazil and India, multilateralism is extremely important. So we need to make sure that COP 30 brings back this trust in multilateralism that we cannot believe that unilateral measures is the answer. We need to prepare the world with multilateral solutions and I think this is the very first thing we want to achieve," he said.

Lago said that the world must start looking at itself from the point of view of countries like India and Brazil.

"I think we had a very interesting sequence regarding G20, that Brazil followed India. And I think that the world has to start to look at itself from the point of view of countries like India and Brazil. And I think this is working very well, and we have to strengthen that. So it will be very good that India holds COP33," he said. (ANI)
