Joint Statement on the Occasion of the Visit by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to Camp David - March 31, 2007

President Bush on Saturday said, “I strongly believe that the best way to help alleviate world poverty is through trade. And so we had yet another constructive dialogue. We had a good dialogue there in Sao Paulo, and here at Camp David we had, as well. Interestingly decent,

we announced the creation of a U.S. Brazil CEO forum. It’s a opportunity for folks in our respective countries to get to know each other better and to strengthen economic ties, as well as social ties.”
