Paul Biya, President of Cameroon, welcomed the historic re‑election of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva following the second round of Brazil’s presidential election in October 2026.
In the runoff, Lula secured a decisive victory, becoming the first Brazilian leader to win a second term in the country’s modern democratic era.
Biya praised the outcome, describing it as a milestone for South‑South cooperation and a sign of continued partnership between Brazil and Cameroon.
South‑South diplomacy, which encourages collaboration among developing nations, has seen growing engagement between Brazil and African states in recent years.
Lula’s return to the presidency is seen as a historic moment for Brazil, signalling continuity of his policies and a strengthening of ties with the global south.
