Argentine president-elect Javier Milei has invited Brazil’s leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to his inauguration and praised their countries’ ties, again softening his tone.

The invite to Mr Da Silva, also known as Lula, to the December 10 event is a surprise, as he had been harshly criticised before.
