The United States and Brazil have a strong, dynamic, and growing partnership.  The United States diplomatic mission here (the Embassy in Brasilia, the Consulates in Recife, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo, and our Consular Agents throughout the country) is cooperating with Brazil on wide-ranging issues.  We are cooperating to promote economic growth and prosperity, and we are investing in increased access to education, technology, and employment for all Brazilians.  We are also working together to address global environmental and health challenges, strengthen law enforcement and justice, and promote energy security and regional and global stability.
