Ambassador Carla Barroso Carneiro at Villa Europa

Brazil and the EU share a long-standing relationship based on deep cultural and historical ties. The EU-Brazil Strategic Partnership includes more than thirty sectoral dialogues in areas such as political relations, human rights, trade, energy, cybernetics, research and innovation, digital policies and climate change. Brazil is also part of the EU-Mercosur Agreement that entered into provisional application on 1 May 2026. 

Ambassador Martin Selmayr was glad to welcome today in Villa Europa Ambassador Carla Barroso Carneiro, with whom Ambassador Selmayr co-chairs the Group of Friends of the Bioeconomy at the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). There can be at times different views and perspectives, but Brazil and the European Union both share the conviction that constructive, inclusive partnerships and strong support of multilateralism are the best ways forward to promote and preserve global trade, prosperity and sustainability.
