Brazil and Indonesia will sign five bilateral deals on trade, food security, and diplomacy. Talks focused on beef exports, poultry imports, and agricultural standards. The move boosts South–South ties under Indonesia’s new BRICS role.
The presidents of Brazil and Indonesia held an official meeting in Brasília to deepen economic, judicial, and political ties. This marked the first official visit by Indonesia’s president to Brazil following the country’s accession to BRICS in January 2025. The two leaders announced plans to sign five bilateral agreements covering sanitary standards, mutual legal cooperation, education, high-level political dialogue, and multilateral coordination.
Food security and agricultural trade were central to the talks. Brazil invited Indonesia to participate in the September Food Security Summit in Fortaleza. Discussions also focused on exporting Brazilian beef to Indonesia and importing Indonesian poultry to promote balanced trade in protein commodities.
These agreements reflect a broader push to strengthen South–South cooperation. With Indonesia gaining influence in the Asia-Pacific and within BRICS, Brazil is positioning itself as a strategic partner in shaping the global food agenda.
