Our Forum Brazil – Europe is a vital gathering for political decision-makers to share thoughts and share new ideas. In its 22nd edition, it drew a large crowd of the interested public, amongst diplomats and various parliamentarians. Euro-Brazilian relations accelerate faster than ever in all relevant spheres – politically, economically and on the civic level. Both entities share common core values and beliefs, meanwhile they are facing the same arising global challenges which may only be responded to through constant dialogue and exchange. Our Forum Brazil – Europe gives hence room for the creation of new ideas and is the place to intensify Euro-Brazilian relations.
Subsequent to the gathering the fourth Edition of the series “Brazil – Europe”, published by the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung was officially launched.
