Brazil announced plans to hold a meeting of the commission on cooperation with the Russian Federation

Brazil plans to organize a meeting of the 12th high-level commission on cooperation with Russia in 2025. This was announced on May 10 by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic Mauro Villera at a briefing.

Also at the briefing, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva stressed that Brazil is interested in building a nuclear power plant (NPP) jointly with Russia. He announced plans to create small nuclear power plants to ensure the country's energy security.

"Russia remains an important partner for Brazil in the field of gas, oil and the construction of small nuclear reactors," he said at a briefing broadcast on the president's Facebook page (owned by Meta, a company whose activities are recognized as extremist and banned in Russia).
