Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro will not attend the upcoming World Economic Forum at Davos in Switzerland, presidential spokesperson Otavio Rego Barros has said.
"The president and his assistants analysed a series of aspects -- economic, security, political. And those aspects, together, allowed the President to evaluate that he should not participate in this forum at this moment," Rego Barros said on Wednesday, Xinhua reported.
Bolsonaro mentioned the possibility of not attending the summit earlier this week, citing security reasons.
