The Time for Brazilian Diplomacy to go Back to Prioritizing its Regional Surroundings

No country in the world can be relevant globally if it is not relevant in its regional environment. In spite of the relative importance of our neighbors in our exports of semi-manufactured and manufactured goods, Brazil is currently adrift in South America and, therefore, we leave a power vacuum in the region and promote an enormous retraction of the South American integration process. Brazil needs to be an active promoter of development in the region and of the processes of cooperation and integration among the countries of South America.
