PBBM seeks to expand bilateral relations with new Brazilian envoy

MANILA -- President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is looking forward to expanding bilateral relations with Brazil as he welcomed the new Brazilian envoy to the Philippines on Tuesday afternoon.

President Marcos welcomed Brazilian Ambassador-designate Gilberto Fonseca Guimarães de Moura and accepted his credentials in Malacañang.

“Excellency, I am pleased to accept your credentials as Ambassador of the Federative Republic of Brazil to the Republic of the Philippines,” President Marcos said.

According to the chief executive, Brazil has become one of the valued partners of the Philippines when it comes to technical cooperation, agriculture, trade and investment, defense, and environmental protection, since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 1946.

President Marcos highlighted that he hopes for further collaboration in those areas.

He also expressed his support for Brazil’s hosting of the 30th Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP30) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2025.

“Brazil is a powerful voice in marshaling collective action towards the protection of the environment and addressing the effects of climate change, which is the foremost existential threat to our species today. We look forward to your hosting of the 30th Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP30) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2025,” he said.

President Marcos likewise reaffirmed the Philippines’ commitment to continued collaboration and support within the principles of the United Nations and other multilateral fora.

“We also count on our continued reciprocal support for each other within the ambit of the United Nations and other multilateral fora,” he said.

“I wish you an enjoyable and fulfilling stay here in our country and I hope you will experience the warm hospitality of the Filipino people,” the President also stated.

In his remarks, the Brazilian ambassador emphasized his country’s commitment to overcoming challenges and further expand collaboration with the Philippines.

The Philippines and Brazil will be celebrating their 78th year of diplomatic relations in July this year. (PND)
