Brazil’s leader embarks on a significant four-day visit to Japan with a notable business delegation in tow, aiming to bolster trade relations amid escalating US tariffs. Discussions between Brazil’s President and Japan’s Prime Minister are set to center around joint biofuel development and reaffirming a commitment to free trade in the face of global protectionism trends. The visit also highlights the importance of a rules-based international order and potential partnerships in various sectors. Brazil’s focus on expanding exports to Japan, diversifying trade relations away from China, and fostering stronger ties with Japan illustrate the strategic objectives of the visit. Additionally, a gesture of reconciliation toward Japan’s diaspora is anticipated during the visit.
