Sources: 6. Developments: 2. Brazil is advancing several international cooperation agreements through its legislative processes. The Foreign Relations and National Defense Commission initially reviewed a defense cooperation agreement with Guyana, which had been suspended since 2012 due to legal concerns regarding the Access to Information Law. Following clarifications from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, these legal impediments were resolved. Subsequently, the Senate's Foreign Relations and National Defense Commission approved the military cooperation agreement with Guyana, which focuses on border security and combating transnational crime. This agreement has gained renewed importance due to regional tensions with Venezuela and oil discoveries off the Guyanese coast. Additionally, the Brazilian Senate Plenary approved a 2023 cultural cooperation pact with Croatia covering areas such as heritage, museums, and intellectual property. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-02: Brazil advances international agreements with Croatia and Guyana The Brazilian Senate approved a cultural cooperation agreement with Croatia and advanced a military cooperation pact with Guyana to enhance border security and joint defense actions. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/brazil-advances-international-agreements-with-croatia-and-guyana ### 2026-08-28: Brazil's Foreign Relations Commission to review diplomatic posts and Guyana defense pact Brazil's Foreign Relations Commission will meet Wednesday to review diplomatic nominations for UNESCO and Mali, and to resume processing a 2009 defense cooperation agreement with Guyana. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/brazils-foreign-relations-commission-to-review-diplomatic-posts-and-guyana-defense-pact --- Cite as: Brazil international cooperation agreement developments.
