But Lula, speaking to Indian news network Firstpost on Saturday, said Putin would be invited to next year's event, to be hosted by Brazil.'We enjoy peace and we like to treat people well. So I believe Putin can go easily to Brazil,' he said.'If I'm the president of Brazil and if he comes to Brazil, there's no way that he will be arrested.'Lula also said that he would attend a BRICS bloc of developing nations summit in Russia next year.
