Lula underwent fresh medical exams on Friday, which showed he is in “stable” condition after a fall that caused trauma to the back of his head, requiring stitches and resulting in a small brain hemorrhage.
Lula’s office said on Friday morning he would not take part in the ongoing COP16, while later in the day it told Reuters his participation at COP29 next month was also canceled.
Lula had already been forced to cancel a trip to Russia for a summit of the BRICS group of major emerging markets.
According to a medical report, Lula is cleared to perform his duties in Brasilia and will undergo new tests within five days. The leftist leader was scheduled to travel on Monday to Colombia.
