Foreign Policy
The primary objective of the Brazilian foreign ministry is to increase the process of regional integration with Mercosul and other regional and financial bodies. It has also been heavily involved in the discussion of important topics on the international agenda including issues such as the protection of human rights, environmental preservation and the maintenance of peace. At the same time, it has strengthened its links with the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries and has structured itself in order to meet the needs and ambitions of day to day foreign policy concerns.
Brazil currently maintains diplomatic relations with every U.N. member country in the world.

To foreign parts is blown by fame;
Seek him in his native town,
He is hidden and unknown.”
