FROM THE EMBASSY
A Message From Brazil.
Brazil and Singapore have built a relationship across half a century and sixteen thousand kilometres, a friendship anchored not in proximity, but in shared values, complementary economies, and a mutual conviction that the Asia-Latin America corridor is one of the defining strategic opportunities of our time.
Embassy of Brazil
Successive editions of It’s Time For Brazil have carried forewords from the Brazilian Ambassador to Singapore and contributions from ApexBrasil, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and FIESP, documenting the Mercosur-Singapore Free Trade Agreement and Brazil’s emergence as Latin America’s strategic partner for Asia.
FIFTY YEARS OFc PARTNERSHIP
Marking the milestones that shape the corridor.
Brazil and Singapore established diplomatic ties in the same year, on opposite sides of the world. Half a century later, the relationship has matured from cordial recognition into a strategic bilateral framework anchored by the Mercosur-Singapore FTA.
