BRAZIL: Brazil is a Western country, minister claims
During the leaders’ summit of the Brics group of developing economies, Brazil’s Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira was questioned by journalists about the concerns that the group might be becoming an ‘anti-Western’ bloc. Vieira responded by claiming that Brics is not opposed to anyone, and that Brazil was very much a country of ‘the West’. Praised by supporters as pragmatic and slammed by detractors as naive, this insistence on diplomatic fluidity or non-alignment is characteristic of the foreign policy approach adopted by Brazil’s government under President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
