Sebastián Piñera, former president of Chile

I am both saddened and surprised by the death of former president of Chile Sebastián Piñera. We worked together to strengthen the relationship between our countries, and there was always a good dialogue between us when we were both presidents, and also when we weren't. I am very sad that he passed away so abruptly. My condolences to Piñera's family and friends for their loss.

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva,

President
