Visit includes meetings with entrepreneurs and Japanese authorities, as well as discussions on investments and cooperation in various areas; visit occurs at a time of celebration of 130 years of bilateral relations
The president (PT) and their entourage landed on with a schedule full of commitments aimed at expanding business partnerships between the two countries. The visit includes meetings with entrepreneurs and Japanese authorities, as well as discussions on investments and cooperation in various strategic areas. The presidential delegation is composed of ministers of important portfolios, such as education, mines and energy, transport, agriculture, science and technology, environment and work, as well as the presidents of the House and Senate, both the current and the previous ones. Japan, being Brazil’s second largest commercial partner in Asia, behind only China, and the ninth investor in the country, highlights the relevance of this visit to the strengthening of bilateral relations.
During his stay, President Lula will meet with Emperor Naruhito and representatives of the Brazilian community in Japan. The agenda also includes an official dinner and discussions about the opening of the Japanese market for Brazilian beef and pork. The visit takes place at a time of celebration of 130 years of bilateral relations between Brazil and Japan, highlighting the historical partnership and opportunities for innovation and mutual growth. This is Lula’s fifth visit to Japan, but the first as head of state, and the expectation is that the trip will strengthen commercial and diplomatic ties between the two countries.
Good evening Brazil, good day Japan. Already in Tokyo to celebrate the 130 -year partnership between our countries. 🤝🇧🇷🇯🇵

The trip to Japan is seen as an opportunity for Brazil to diversify its business partnerships, especially in a global scenario of uncertainty. The entourage seeks to explore new opportunities in the Asian market, including Vietnam, which will also be visited by the president. The presence of entrepreneurs in the delegation is strategic for signing information exchange and technology agreements. However, Brazil’s ability to sign commercial agreements independently is limited by Mercosur, which has been unknown in terms of international treaties. The trip also reflects the need for Brazil to seek alternatives in the face of a global scenario in transformation, especially with Donald Trump’s return to the US presidency. The search for new partnerships and the diversification of markets are essential for Brazil to position itself competitively in the international scenario.
