History

In May 2009 Brazil president Lula made the first visit of a Brazilian president to Saudi Arabia.[1][2] On the visit, Brazil and Saudi Arabia signed an agreement to expand cooperation in oil, mining, infrastructure, and science, and to increase bilateral trade.[1] Lula said trade between the two countries had increased 450% in the prior six years.[1] The two countries had annual trade worth $5.5 billion.[1]
In 2022, commerce between the two countries was $8.2 billion. Brazil primarily purchased hydrocarbons and fertilizers ($5.3 billion), while Saudi Arabia primarily purchased halal protein ($2.9 billion).[3]
In August 2023, Lula said that he supported Saudi Arabia being accepted into BRICS.[4]
In November 2023, Lula met in Riyadh with the prime minister and crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman.[5][6][7] They discussed strengthening bilateral relations, and investments in both countries.[6][7] Salman said that a more robust strategic partnership between the two countries would benefit both sides.[6] The $10 billion that the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia pledged to invest in Brazil was one topic of conversation.[6][7] Lula mentioned Brazil's rapprochement with Arab countries.[6] Salman also discussed Saudi Arabia's entry into BRICS in January 2024.[6] Lula invited Salman to visit Brazil in 2024.[6][8][7]
In February 2024, Saudi Ambassador to Brazil Faisal Ghulam participated in a reception held by the ambassadors of Arab countries and Islamic countries in honor of Lula, and on behalf of the ambassadors of the Arab and Islamic countries, Ghulam delivered a speech in which he reviewed the developing relations between the Arab and Islamic countries and Brazil.[9]
