Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro has visited Brazil for the first time since he was banned by former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro in 2019.
Mr. Maduro was received by the new president, fellow leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, ahead of a summit of Latin American leaders in Brasilia.
Mr. Maduro talked of a "new era" in bilateral relations.
Lula said the region should tackle poverty.
A number of countries question the legitimacy of Mr Maduro, who is described by opponents as a dictator.
Greeting his guest in the Brazilian capital on Monday, Lula said his own return had come five months earlier, referring to the time when he again assumed power after beating Mr Bolsonaro in tight presidential elections.
Mr Maduro said Venezuela was open for Brazilian investors, stressing that the two countries "must be united, from now on and always".
