President Jair Bolsonaro dined with executives who attended the World Economic Forum.

“I have great confidence in you and I am aware of my responsibility,” he said, addressing the investors. Bolsonaro also stated that contracts will be observed and pledged he will seek to restore the confidence of international executives in Brazil.
Bolsonaro went on to say that, when he was elected, “hope came over to our side,” adding that he is committed to “turning this hope into reality.”
