Greetings from my old friend Celso Amorim, Hardeep Puri said on social media platform X. Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the president of Brazil, currently has him as his top counsellor. He served as Brazil's Foreign Minister from 2006 to 2008, the year I was posted there as the Indian Ambassador. He was the Brazilian Ambassador to London before I was appointed India's Deputy High Commissioner to the UK.
