On 11 May in Astana, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan Yermek Kosherbayev held talks with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Brazil Mauro Vieira, who arrived in Kazakhstan on an official visit.
The parties discussed a wide range of issues related to bilateral cooperation, including political, trade-economic, and cultural-humanitarian interaction, as well as coordination within international organizations and multilateral platforms.
The foreign ministers noted the steady development of political contacts, including systematic inter-parliamentary engagement and the mechanism of political consultations, which enables the two countries to regularly exchange views on pressing bilateral, regional, and international issues.
“Kazakhstan views Brazil as a key and reliable partner in Latin America. Today’s talks confirmed the mutual interest in further deepening cooperation and implementing new joint initiatives,” noted Minister Kosherbayev.
Particular attention was paid to trade, economic and investment cooperation. The parties noted the positive dynamics of bilateral trade, which reached 295 million US dollars in 2025, and emphasized the significant potential for further expanding cooperation in industry, agriculture, energy, and investment.
The strategic importance of transport and transit potential with access to international markets was also highlighted. Kazakhstan and Brazil are well positioned to serve as mutual “gateways” to Eurasia and Latin America, respectively.
As part of the visit, a business forum was also organized with the participation of leading business representatives of the two countries, during which B2B and B2G meetings were held. The participants discussed prospects for the implementation of joint projects in such priority areas as high-tech agriculture, water resource management, and digital technologies.
Following the event, memoranda of understanding were signed between the ministries of agriculture of the two countries in the field of livestock breeding, as well as between KAZAKH INVEST and ApexBrasil.
