BRAZIL: Shoring up ties with Lusophone African partners
Directly after attending the leaders’ summit of the Brics (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) group of developing economies in South Africa, Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva visited two Portuguese-speaking African countries, Angola and São Tomé and Príncipe, from 25-27 August. Lula used the visits as a platform to reiterate that Brazil is back as a reliable international partner for developing countries of the ‘Global South’, after relations with African nations had been neglected under his right-wing predecessor Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2023).
