New Delhi, Feb. 22 -- Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said India and Brazil are "two countries that are in need or in want." He said no one is above the other country.

He added, "...it's much easier for us to work and to establish an action plan, and to establish targets or goals and to build partnerships between Brazilian entrepreneurs and Indians and invite them to make investments in Brazil..."
