The minister said that international cooperation is “welcome” but cannot be imposed, and said that Brazil cannot accept threats to its citizens and companies:
“International cooperation is always welcome, as long as dialogue and not imposition. Some think this decision and others come to increase conflicts. It is otherwise to harmonize contentious situations and, above all, avoid conflicts in the future. A country that values its constitution cannot accept strength measures that threaten their citizens, their citizens and that threaten their companies.”
