Policy Brief # 58 / 2025

Russia’s engagement with Brazil — Moscow’s foremost trading partner in Latin America and a key member of BRICS — stands as a crucial component of Russia’s strategy to foster a multipolar world. Alignment on various items on the international agenda and the ability to navigate political disagreements without harming bilateral ties have become important features of the interactions between the two nations in the 21st century. However, Russian-Brazilian relations are not without their risks; under certain conditions, there could be a cooling in trade and economic cooperation. Transforming the dynamically evolving connections across multiple domains into strong, enduring bonds and developing a closely aligned vision for the future remains a challenge that Moscow has yet to fully address.
