Technical cooperation and Brazilian foreign policy: Angola as strategic partnership (2015-2025)
| Resumo: | This article analyses Brazilian foreign policy toward Angola between 2015 and 2025, focusing on technical development cooperation. It examines whether Angola can still be considered a strategic partner for Brazil given the oscillations of Brazilian foreign policy, and what elements sustain this relationship. The article argues that, since 2015, the fragility of Brazilian foreign policy reflects the domestic political crisis and the absence of a consistent national project. However, when analysed from a long-term perspective, strategic partnerships with African countries, particularly Angola, have proven enduring. The article concludes that technical development cooperation remains the primary instrument of engagement, sustaining and renewing bilateral ties through state-level policies. |
