    Brazil and South Africa will expand cooperation on environmental protection

    By Leadership Project  // Thursday, September 19, 2013

    4th BRICS SummitPortuguese Translation of the Week

    Government sources said that Brazil and South Africa signed a Memorandum of Understanding on environmental cooperation, on September 16th in Foz do Iguaçú, which will expand agreements existent among the IAS since 2008, a trilateral group of countries which also includes India.

    Brasil e África do Sul assinarão amanhã em Foz do Iguaçú um Memorando de Entendimento sobre Cooperação na Área Ambiental que ampliará os acordos existentes desde 2008 no Ias, grupo trilateral de países que também inclui a Índia, informaram fontes governamentais neste domingo.

    The signing of the memorandum took place during the Ministerial meeting of the so called “Basic” group, a bloc composed by Brazil, South Africa, India and China, which is currently preparing a joint proposal to be presented at the Conference of Parties on Climate Change (COP19), to take place between November 11th and 22nd in Warsaw, Poland.

    The agreement complements, in a bilateral fashion, the memorandum of understanding signed in 2008 between Brazil, South Africa and India.

    Brazil and South Africa, as relatively strong powers among emerging countries, have large populations, numerous natural resources, and similar agricultural production characteristics – allowing for cooperation.
