Ambassador: Brazil aims to resume Embraer aircraft sales to Belarus

Brazil plans to resume selling Embraer aircraft to Belarus — as stated by Bernard Jorg Leopold de Garcia Klingl, the Brazilian Ambassador to Belarus, after his today’s meeting with Belarus’ President Aleksandr Lukashenko

Commenting on areas of mutually beneficial bilateral co-operation, the diplomat highlighted interaction in the aviation sector. Specifically, he referred to the resumption of Embraer aircraft deliveries to Belarus, “In our region, we manufacture some of the best airplanes. Unfortunately, sanctions have previously impeded co-operation between Brazil and Belarus in this area. Now, we hope to renew this partnership. Of course, this depends not only on Belarus and Brazil but also on the wider political environment. Nevertheless, we believe we can overcome the remaining challenges.”

Bernard Klingl expressed confidence that co-operation between Belarus and Embraer will be beneficial for both parties, saying, “We manufacture high-quality aircraft, and Belarus can provide us with a huge market — the entire CIS region.”
