Luso-Brazilian summit in February 2025

Prime Minister Luís Montenegro announced the Luso-Brazilian summit to be held next year in Brazil, at the end of the G20 meeting, for which Brazil, this year’s chair, invited a few countries, including Portugal, as observers. The last Luso-Brazilian summit was held in Lisbon in April 2023.

Luís Montenegro also said he has a visit to Brazil planned following an invitation made by President Luís Inácio Lula da Silva. The bilateral relations "are incredibly rich with pressing and pertinent matters every day", he said, adding that the interaction between both countries "is livelier than ever".

"In addition to our cultural and historical ties, as well as the economic partnerships undertaken, today there is a remarkable human dimension: we are talking about roughly 700 thousand Portuguese people in Brazil and 700 thousand Brazilians in Portugal", he said.

In addition to President Lula, the Prime Minister met with many of the leaders who attended the G20 meeting, especially those with whom he does not meet at European Union meetings, such as the President of the United States Joe Biden, or of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, and of Angola, João Lourenço, and the Prime Ministers of Singapore Lawrence Wong, of Malaysia, Anuar bin Ibrahim, and of India, Narendra Modi.
