  • Antonio Costa, head of the European Council that represents the 27 EU countries, will travel to Brazil from May 27-May 29 to strengthen partnerships and investment ties between the European Union and Brazil. The European Council said on Friday that Costa would meet Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva during his trip and make a speech at an EU-Brazil investment forum.

The European Union's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, visited Brazil to strengthen ties with the country, emphasizing the importance of Brazil in global affairs and the need for cooperation on issues like climate change and trade. During his visit, Borrell met with Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira and discussed the EU's interest in concluding the Mercosur trade agreement, which has been stalled due to environmental concerns. Borrell also highlighted the EU's commitment to supporting Brazil's efforts to combat deforestation in the Amazon and praised Brazil's role in international peace and security, particularly in relation to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The visit underscores the EU's strategy to enhance its relationship with Latin America, recognizing Brazil's pivotal role in regional and global politics.
