History and Morocco–Brazil relations
The two countries’ history of contact includes Brazil’s first consular mission in Tangier in 1861. Their diplomatic relationship formally began in 1906, and embassies were established in both capitals by the 1960s. The Embassy of Morocco in Brasília was established in 1967. High-level visits, cultural and technical cooperation agreements, and formal consultation mechanisms have since strengthened the partnership (gov.br; policycenter.ma).
The embassy supports trade, investment, and sectoral agreements, especially in agriculture, green energy, and food security. Morocco’s phosphate expertise and Brazil’s agri-technology have led to joint initiatives, while renewable energy and sustainable development are growing areas of collaboration (gov.br; policycenter.ma; moroccoworldnews.com).
Recent agreements cover cooperation between Moroccan and Brazilian law enforcement and judiciary agencies, including counterterrorism and maritime safety. The embassy also supports parliamentary friendship groups and academic exchanges, promoting legislative dialogue and educational opportunities (gov.br; moroccoworldnews.com).
Recent developments include the resumption of direct Casablanca–São Paulo flights in December 2024, the opening of a São Paulo branch of the Moroccan National Tourism Office, and embassy-facilitated business forums that attract investment and commercial partnerships (moroccoworldnews.com).
