In his most recent visit to Sweden, Mr. Celso Amorim - Minister of Defence in Brazil, talked about Brazil- Sweden relations, with focus on defence policy fundamental security concerns and challenges that Brazil is facing today. Among other landmarks in the relations between the two countries, Celso Amorim highlighted the Trilateral Solidarity for Building Peace - a cooperation agreement (between Brazil, Turkey and Sweden) for, among other objectives, peace and internet freedom. The two agreements signed during the visit marks a new period of enhanced partnerships between Brazil and Sweden. The first permits the two countries, along with the fighter partnership, to discuss other military ventures of mutual interest. The second addresses the safety of sensitive information shared by the two nations, and conceals not only the transaction of the fighters, but all initiatives that could be undertaken by them. ?The agreements signed are an achievement for all organizations involved in the process of strengthening the relations between these two countries. States which have different cultural backgrounds, but similar political views.? said Elisa Sohlman, CEO of the Brazilian Chamber of Commerce in Sweden.
