South American presidents are gathering in Brasilia on Tuesday for their first summit in almost a decade at the invitation of Brazil's leftist leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who aims to regain his country's active role in regional affairs.
Ideological divisions undermined a previous attempt at regional cooperation called Unasur created by leftist presidents in 2008 that floundered when several countries elected right-wing governments, creating diplomatic fissures on the continent.
Lula said the leaders did not have to recreate a new Unasur but could come up with a different sort of organization. Brazilian officials organizing the summit said it was designed to keep political divisions from hindering cooperation.
