Good Morning Mr. França.

My name is Brigitte Collet. I am the current French Ambassador here in Brasília. I wanted to reach out to your office today not only to introduce myself but to congratulate you on your administration's recent election victory. I firmly believe newly elected President Jair Bolsonaro is a great man and is well equipped to lead the Brazilian people into the twenty-first century. I would love to hear your thoughts on the current state of global politics. Does the Brazilian government have an official position on the current crisis in Turkey? I would also love to discuss an official trade deal between our two nations. What products are you planning on exporting?

I hope to hear from your office soon!

Your Excellency,

I am delighted to hear from the French, as Brazil have always had a strong relationship with France in the past. I would like to express my gratitude and thank you for reaching out to us. Our currently position on Turkey is that we await the ICJ case; however, given the evidence, we stand with nations like France in condemning the Turkish actions. We have no intentions of letting Turkey committing any more crimes against humanity, and we will always be there to help countries in need.

We are also interested in a trade deal with France. We can offer manufactured goods, agricultural products, coffee, crude oil and iron ore. We are also open to the possibility of military trade, or financial aid, if necessary. Please reach out to us with what you want.

Carlos Alberto França
Minister of Foreign Affairs
