Lula of course supports it. You will also get a sense of how this region wants to work together to become stronger collectively. If you took a look at my piece on Why do we fight?, you will recognize it is the same old thing. Peru has the 2nd highest copper manufacturing in the South, just behind Chile.

It builds bonds between squabbling neighbors, connects Latin America to the World-Island, and escapes Monroe capture..
