Brazil will head G20 building on India's achievements, relations are beyond sugar disputes: Ambassador

Describing India-Brazil relations as well beyond pending disputes, Brazil's Ambassador to India and Bhutan, Kenneth Félix Haczynski da Nóbrega, said that disputes like the one on sugar subsidy as a limited aspect of bilateral relations.

Envisaging an optimistic outlook for cooperation beyond trade issues, he pointed out that India and Brazil have positive perspectives for cooperating in ethanol as well as by virtue of being partners at the global biofuel alliance.

Stating that Brazil will begin its G20 Presidency from November 2023 while building on India's achievements, he told CNBC-TV18 that his country will be the third in a row of four developing countries to preside over the international grouping.

While he said that Brazil's G20 Presidency will emphasise on bringing sustainable development and the fight against poverty and hunger at centrestage for international discussions, he added that the largest Latin American country plans to discuss environmental, social and economic components of development. He refrained from making any comments on the current India-Canada diplomatic standoff.
