Não tem nada que me emocione mais do que sentir esse carinho sincero, que não conhece fronteiras.

Hoje, na COP 31, na Turquia, fui recebido por pessoas de diferentes partes do mundo com abraços, sorrisos e palavras de afeto.

Levo cada gesto comigo. É gratificante encontrar pessoas que compartilham da esperança de construir um mundo melhor.

Muito obrigado por tanto carinho! ❤️🇧🇷
