Brazil–Canada relations have been cordial but relatively limited, although the relationship between the two countries has been gradually evolving over time. == History == Prior to the 1820s Brazil and Canada were both colonies of European powers, and had no direct contacts. Brazil's independence was much earlier than Canada's, and British control of Canada's relations with foreign governments lasted well into the early 20th century. However, trade was important enough that Canada opened its first trade office in Brazil in 1866. Canada’s Embassy in Brazil did not open until 1944, with Jean Désy as Canada’s first Ambassador to Brazil. In May 1941, Brazil opened a legation in Ottawa. The first Brazilian Ambassador to Canada was João Alberto Lins de Barros.〔 Today, in addition to the embassy in Brasilia, Canada is also represented by consulates general in both São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, a trade office in Belo Horizonte and a Canadian International Development Agency office in Recife. Cold War politics also got in the way: while Canada was a founding member of the Atlantic Alliance and was closely associated with US policies, Brazil was an observer at the Non-Aligned Movement and its leaders held sometimes cool views of United States. Canada was very disconnected from Latin America and did not join the Organization of American States until 1990. The 1990s saw the relations become more important to both countries as trade and investment links grew, and Canada became interested in regional trade agreements in Latin America. These increasing economic ties lead to several disputes, however. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brazil–Canada relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
