spent less than 1 million dollars and
with only a few seconds of TV airtime
and having been unfairly attacked all
the time we have nevertheless come out
victorious I took office in Brazil
amidst a deep ethical moral and economic
crisis we are committed to changing our
history for the very first time in
Brazil a president has set up a team of
highly skilled highly qualified cabinet
ministers by honoring our campaign
commitment by not accepting political
and partisan interference which in the
past did nothing but great state
inefficiency and corruption we enjoy
credibility to carry out the reforms
that we need and that the world expects
from all of us among us here in Davos is
my Minister of Justice mr. Sergio Moro
the right man to fight corruption and
money laundering we will invest heavily
in safety and security so that you can
comfortably come and visit us with your
families after all Brazil is one of the
very first countries when it comes to
natural beauty but we are currently not
among the most visited tourism
destinations in the world do come and
get to know our Amazonian region our
coastline or beaches or cities and/or
what lands Brazil is a paradise but not
yet very well known we are the one
country that most preserves the
environment no other country in the
world has as many forests as we do
agriculture takes place in no more than
9% of our territory and it has grown
thanks to its technology to farmers
competence less than 20% of our soil is
devoted to animal husbandry these
commodities agricultural commodities to
a large extent have ensured a surplus to
our balance of trade and have fed a
substantial portion
of the world it is now our mission to
make progress in harmonizing
environmental preservation and
biodiversity on the one hand with the
much-needed economic development while
burning mind these are interdependent
inseparable pillars of our society those
who criticises have actually a great
deal to learn with us we wish to govern
by example and we want the world to
re-establish the trust and the
confidence it has always we will work to
lower the tax burden streamline rules
and make life easier for those who wish
to produce and the business as
entrepreneurs invests and create jobs we
shall work to foster economic stability
while respecting and honoring contract
by means of privatization projects and
by balancing government economy is still
relatively closed to foreign trade and
to change that situation is one of my
administration's major commitment you
can be sure that by the end of my term
in office our economic team led by
Minister of Finance Paulo godís will
position Brazil in the ranking of the 50
best countries in the world to do
business our foreign relations will be
stepped up and will gain momentum with
mr. ernesto Arusha but implementing a
policy where the ideological bias will
no longer exist to that end we will seek
to better integrate Brazil into the
world by mainstreaming best
international practices such as those
adopted and promoted by the OECD we will
pursue efforts to better integrate
Brazil into the world by means of an
active advocacy of the WTO reform with
the purpose of eliminating unfair trade
practices while guaranteeing legal
certainty or not to our foreign trade
flows we will also restore our values
and open up our economy we will defend
family principles and true human rights
we will protect the right to life and to
private property and promote an
educational system that will prepare our
young people to rise to the challenges
of the fourth Industrial Revolution
seeking to living in poverty and extreme
poverty through knowledge we are here in
that was because we want not only to
deepen our friendship ties but also
deepen our trade relations Brazil is
home to the world's largest by the
biodiversity and we have abundant
mineral resources we want to engage with
partners who mastered technologies so
that this marriage translates into
progress and development for all our
actions
make no mistake whatsoever will
certainly attract you to seize great
business opportunities not only to the
good of Brazil but also for the good of
the whole world we stand with open arms
I want more than just a great Brazil I
want a world of peace freedom and
democracy our motto is God above all
things and I believe that our relations
will yield and bring about countless
benefits to all of us thank you so very
much
[Applause]
mr. president thank you for providing us
with such a great insight into what you
calls a new Brazil you have elaborated
on your policies my asks the first
question what concrete steps do you do
you plan to take in the next months to
initiate really this process of
transformation of Brazil microphone
please microphone please microphone
please microphone please
yes please
we intend to reduce the size of the
Brazilian state apparatus and carry out
reforms such as the Social Security
reform and also we wish to relieve those
who produce in who want to take business
projects so from the weight of a heavy
state we want to enhance our education
which remains very inefficient we want
to do away with the ideological bias
that seems to be there in our business
undertakers there will be no bias on
either side and we wish to foster
greater business opportunities with the
world and with those who shared similar
practice and values with us and through
our economic team we will lower the tax
burden and through our Minister of
Foreign Affairs
we will pursue efforts to further deeper
business opportunities and draw closer
and closer ties with all countries in
the world at this point in time we
represent a turning point in the eyes of
the Brazilian people a turning point
where the ideological buyers will no
longer that's a powerful place
accordingly it is our understanding that
we have a great deal to offer all of you
in the business currency and we would
very much enjoy the opportunity to
engage in partnership
Jaques to the well-being and benefits of
people's one off see issues which
damaged the brand of Brazil was
corruption you mentioned it in your
speech but whatever you are exact plans
you have your Minister for justice here
what are you exact lines to stamp out
cooperation in Brazil dorothea theater
without the share of those means of
justice mr. Sergio Mora is a well known
to many of you he has been tasked with
the mission of tackling corruption was
he was uplifted to the position of
minister of justice and security so he
has before him all the movies and they
were without of course pursue efforts to
tackle corruption to fight by changing
the existing legislation but also by
enhancing portions of the existing
legislation with which I'm sure we will
achieve our purpose and objective but
just as important is the fact that our
cabinet ministers all appointed from a
technical perspective given their
technical skills and profiles without
any political parties influence we do
need the Brazilian Congress might follow
me and we do trust that a substantial
portion of support is in our efforts to
fight corruption Brazil will therefore
be seen in a very different light abroad
mr. president you mentioned is a need
for harmony between economic development
and also preserving nature and some
natural endowment and the immense
biodiversity of your country could you
show me miss uh small details about your
plans for sustainability Oh God
the environment must go hand in hand
without development efforts one should
not of course emphasize one more in the
other
yeah in Brazil we of course have a
substantial agribusiness activity which
is known by many of you
actually accounts for less than 90% of
the brazilian territory and animal
husbandry about 20% of the our territory
so it is fair to say that in brazil we
have about 30% of the territories
essentially made made up of forests so
we do have them in examples to be
followed by the world and we will do
everything we can in their agenda and
we've planned to work in harmony with
the world they don't sync with the whole
world in terms of decarbonizing the
economy reducing co2 emissions and of
course preserving the environment thank
you as one of the largest economy how
are you planning to integrate Brazil
into the board or Latin American context
what are the regionalization plans which
you have as a priority of your
government regards South America having
a nice cast with several regional
leaders in the continent I have heard
that they all want of course Brazil to
do well I believe there isn't
opportunity to improve the few things
within the mirthlessly block of
countries I have already talked to
Argentine president Macri to that effect
I have already held conversations with
the President of Chile in the air and
also with mr. melito from Paraguay yes
of course we're keenly concerned about
the ensuring that we have a great
vibrant South America where each country
will obviously enough going able to
Germany would not want to have a
Bolivian
type of America it used to be the case
that but recently in Brazil in
administration's I believe that this new
way of interacting my South American
countries has had a contingent many
countries more center centre-right
leaders have been successfully elected
in these neighboring countries and I
believe it is a clear-cut response
indicating quite clearly that the
left-wing will not prevail in that
region which is a very good development
in my view not only for Latin America
but for the world at large
mr. president we can also announce that
our Latin American summit next year will
take place in your country and sister
given our excellent opportunity to see
the results of your quick transformation
efforts and we all wish you all the best
for this transformation I think Brazil
is important for the world it's a great
country it's important for global nature
it's important for global economy so all
our best wishes accompany you on your
journey thank you very much for joining
on your first strip sue Davos community
and I'm sure see participants here
seeing the great opportunities which
your country offers and I just can add
and the great beauty your country yes
thank you very much again for joining us
in Davos
[Applause]
