Brazil Looks for Role in Syria's Reconstruction After the War

Brazil plans to reopen its embassy and restore full diplomatic relations with Syria in the hope of participating in the war-torn country’s reconstruction.

"Our wish is to fully reactivate the Embassy and send a resident ambassador to Damascus," Brazilian foreign minister Aloysio Nunes Ferreira said in an interview in Brasilia, adding that President Michel Temer had instructed him to carry out a feasibility study. Preliminary feedback from intelligence and defense officials is positive, he said, and a decision will be taken in the next few days.
