March 31 (UPI) — Brazil’s Foreign Ministry announced it will open a diplomatic office in Jerusalem during President Jair Bolsonaro’s trip to Israel on Sunday.
Some expected Bolsonaro to formally announce plans to move Brazil’s embassy to Jerusalem after promising to do so in his presidential campaign, but the nation instead opted for the opening of a “business office” as a show of strong relations between the two countries.
“Brazil decided to create an office in Jerusalem to promote trade, investment, technology and innovation as a part of its embassy in Israel,” Brazil’s Foreign Ministry said.
