Brazil and Angola formalized the intentions of exchanging scientific data for the sake of the Join Declaration of Strategic Partnership. Graduation students are also invited to cross the ocean to run experiments and studies on the other country, enforcing the common tie these two countries have with each other:
- The language of both is Portuguese
- The African Savannah are very similar to the Brazilian Cerrado (opening opportunity for the Embrapa - Brazilian Enterprise for Farming Research - to do some work on the old Continent)
- Brazil and Angola were the first 2 economies to come out of the recent global recession
The agreement goes around these subjects:
- Farming (Angola has a huge unexplored potential)
- Technology and knowledge transfer from both sides
Some more data:
- Brazil exported around US$1.47 billion in 2009 to Angola only
- Brazil offered US$2.5 billion as export credit to Angola, making this country the biggest beneficiary of this type of credit in the world, the Export Warranty Fund.
