brazil has made the decision to withdraw from the current negotiations to purchase India's akash air defense missile system. The talks, which were once promising, have now halted. According to sources mentioned in a Deccan Herald investigation, officials in Brasilia are now concentrating on Italy's Enhanced Modular air Defence Solution (EMADS).
This occurred when narendra modi met with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva for high-level talks during his historic state visit to brazil, the first by an indian prime minister in 57 years. With lofty objectives in hand, the two leaders agreed to increase bilateral trade from $12.2 billion in 202425 to $20 billion by 2030.
It appears that Brazil's administration has chosen to seek alternative missile systems even though it agreed to strengthen defense and security ties. Italian EMADS seem to be Lula's go-to option these days.
The optics were still warm, though. Following the meeting, prime minister Modi stated that the increased defense collaboration between brazil and india is a reflection of their strong mutual trust. Our cooperation as two sizable democracies is important for humanity as a whole, not just the Global South.
"The India-Brazil partnership is a pillar of stability and balance in a world that is experiencing tension and uncertainty," he continued.
President Lula presented PM Modi with Brazil's highest civilian honor, the Grand Collar of the National Order of the Southern Cross, during the state event. He reaffirmed his dedication to forging closer industrial defense relations between the two countries.
Brazil is still interested in other indian defense products even though it has temporarily distanced itself from the akash missile system. The Garuda artillery gun and India's coastline monitoring system are still up for discussion.
PM Modi emphasized that both countries have a strong and unwavering position against international terrorism. Brazil and india are fighting together. No double standards, no tolerance. "We are adamantly against terrorism and those who encourage it," he stated.
Although the shelved akash agreement is a setback, defense is still a possibility in brazil and india, albeit on different terms, and the two countries' relationship is still developing.
