Europe should learn from Latin America if it wants to cope with the ongoing economic crisis, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has stated during her first official visit to the bloc.
"Our experience shows that the overly austere fiscal measures are only worsening the stagnation, the lack of opportunities and the unemployment," Rousseff pointed out during a press conference in Brussels, as cited by international media.
Investments should be chosen as the main tool in fighting the Eurozone crisis, the Brazilian President stated.
Later on Tuesday, Rousseff will pay a visit to Bulgaria, the country in which her father was born.
Rousseff's official two-day visit kicks off on Wednesday. The Brazilian President was invited by her Bulgarian counterpart Georgi Parvanov already in November 2010.
Rousseff is the first Brazilian President to visit Bulgaria ever since the diplomatic relations between the two countries were reestablished 50 years ago. Her delegation includes key Brazilian business representatives.
In Sofia, Rousseff has on her agenda official meetings with Parvanov, as well with Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, who secured her visit around New Years while in Brazil for her inauguration.
On September 2, Bulgaria's Foreign Minister Nikolay Mladenov met his Brazilian counterpart Antonio Patriota and confirmed Rousseff will visit Bulgaria soon, but no official date was set then.
