Republic of Seychelles

Seychelles and Brazil established diplomatic relations in 1986. Both countries do not have mutually resident embassies: the Embassy of Brazil in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) is cumulatively responsible for representing Brazil to the Republic of Seychelles, and the Embassy of Seychelles in Havana (Cuba) is cumulatively responsible for representing the Republic of Seychelles in Brazil.

In 2009, a Cooperation Agreement on Education was signed. In 2014, the then Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of Seychelles, Barry Faue, visited Brazil.

In multilateral forums, the two countries have converging views on the fight against poverty and inequality, a fairer international trade, and sustainable development.

Bilateral trade with Seychelles is strongly favorable to Brazil and historically modest. According to Brazil’s Ministry of Industry, Foreign Trade and Services, over the past five years, trade exchange totaled an average $8.4 million. In 2019, Brazilian exports amounted to $6.5 million while imports totaled $170,000, acccounting for an exchange of $6.67 million. That year, main Brazilian exports were poultry meat (36%), edible meat by-products (16%), tobacco derivates (13%) and bovine meat (13%), and Brazilian imports consisted mainly of telecom equipment (36%), organo-inorganic compounds (23%); electrical energy machinery (14%) and thermioinic tubes and valves (13%)
