The president of Brazil is set to propose a joint development deal of the Amazon region with Japan when he meets with the Japanese prime minister.
Jair Bolsonaro posted his thoughts on social media on Tuesday before he left for the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan. It begins on Friday.
In the post, Bolsonaro said he will meet with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. He said he wants to discuss the exploration of biodiversity in the Amazon.
Bolsonaro has been pressing ahead with the development of the region.
The rainforest in South America is the world's largest, covering 5.5 million square kilometers. It plays a significant role in mitigating global warming, which is expected to be a topic at the G20 meeting.
