The second meeting of the Young Professionals Programme, a project resulting from a partnership between CEBRI, the British Consulate General in Brazil, and the Consulate General of the United States in Brazil, took place on March 16th, at our headquarters in Rio de Janeiro.

The event consisted of a conversation about the new Brazilian foreign policy between Ambassador Roberto Abdenur, CEBRI's Trustee, Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (1993-94) and Ambassador of Brazil in Washington D.C. (2004-06) and in Beijing (1989-92), and Feliciano de Sá Guimarães, CEBRI's Academic Director and Professor at USP.

The debate was followed by a happy hour for the participants to integrate. The Young Professionals Programme aims to provide spaces for young international relations professionals to network and bring their respective institutions closer together.
