History

The Brazilian embassy in Pakistan was established in 1952, shortly after the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1948.[5] Brazil was the first Latin American country to open a diplomatic mission in Pakistan.[6] The embassy was formerly located at 6 Victoria Road, Karachi, during the 1950s, before the capital was shifted to Islamabad in the 1960s.[7] It is concurrently accredited to Afghanistan and Tajikistan.

Activities

The embassy plays an important role in the promotion of Brazilian culture in Pakistan, and the bilateral relations between the two countries.[8] Various consular services are provided.[9] The Brazilian ambassador also serves as the honorary president of the Pakistan-Brazil Friendship Association (PBFA), established in 2011.[10][11][12] The embassy arranges numerous cultural events, including Independence Day celebrations, the Brazilian Film Festival, arts and photographic exhibitions, food exhibitions, musical events, documentary screenings, and book launches.[5][13][14][15][16][17] It also provides free language classes in Brazilian Portuguese.[18][19][20] Over 120 students have graduated from the course.[21]
