Mercosur and South American Integration: Joint Solutions for the Region
2 min Machine translated Politics
So we have a task to do, and I think we're doing it.
I want to tell the presidents that I'm very proud to have lived through this moment in Latin America and South America, when we went from a failed Merc— from a failed Mercosur in 2002, to building not only a stronger Mercosur, but also the creation of the South American Community of Nations.
For centuries, Brazil turned its back on South America, looking toward the United States and the European Union, thinking that whatever was good for the United States was good for Brazil, or whatever was good for Europe was good for Brazil.
For a long time, Bolivia has been here, the Bolivia thought Bra— thought Brazil was the imperialist country on the continent and that, therefore, Bolivian businesspeople were afraid of the Brazilian businesspeople, and they weren't afraid of businesspeople from other countries.
For a long time, Argentina and Brazil distrusted each other, and so on.
We're achieving something unusual. Despite our differences, despite our differences, today we are convinced that there is no individual way out for any country.
There is no individual way out. Either we find joint solutions to finance our infrastructure, or we find joint solutions to facilitate our trade, or we will not have a way out.

Original transcript (Portuguese)
Então nós temos uma tarefa pra fazer e acho que estamos fazendo.
Quero dizer aos presidentes que eu me orgulho muito de ter vivido este momento na América Latina e na América do Sul, em que nós saímos de um Merc-- de um Mercosul fracassado em 2002, para a construção não apenas do fortalecimento do Mercosul, mas da constituição da Comunidade Sul-Americana de Nações.
Durante séculos, Brasil ficou de costa pra América do Sul, olhando para os Estados Unidos e para a União Europeia, achando que tudo que era bom pros Estados Unidos, era bom pro Brasil, ou tudo que era bom pra Europa, era bom pro Brasil.
Durante muito tempo, a Bolívia está aqui, a Bolívia achou que o Bra-- achava que o Brasil era o país imperialista do continente e que, portanto, os empresários bolivianos tinham medo dos empresários brasileiros e não tinham medo dos empresários de outros países.
Durante muito tempo, Argentina e Brasil desconfiavam um do outro e assim por diante.
Nós estamos conseguindo um feito inusitado.
Apesar das nossas diferenças, apesar das nossas diferenças, nós hoje estamos convencidos que não existe saída individual para nenhum país.
Não existe saída individual. Ou nós encontramos soluções conjuntas para financiar a nossa infraestrutura, ou nós encontramos soluções conjuntas para facilitar o nosso comércio, ou nós não teremos saída
