RIO DE JANEIRO, May 29 (Xinhua) — Brazil’s relations with the United States are not unconditional, Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira told a committee of the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, amid concerns that new U.S. restrictions could affect Brazilian citizens.
The Foreign Minister expressed concern over the recent decision by the US government to suspend issuance of new visas to foreign students. “This is a worrying situation. We have a large number of Brazilian students at US universities, and we will have to monitor developments,” he said.
The Minister stressed that, in accordance with international agreements, host countries are required to issue visas for participation in multilateral events, including those held by the UN or the Organization of American States (OAS).
The US visa suspension has raised concerns in Brazil over the potential disruption to academic ties. Officials have warned that the move could hinder talent exchanges and slow scientific collaboration between the two countries.
Access to higher education abroad remains a key element of Brazil’s labor force development and innovation strategy, said M. Vieira. –0–
