The Lula Government's foreign policy was marked by an agenda for technical cooperation with developing countries, specifically, African nations. During this period, the country became more active in multilateral forums, offering know-how and technology within the scope of South-South Cooperation to all interested nations. Services provided by reference institutions in areas such as health, education, agriculture and professional training. Angola was one of the countries that expanded Brazilian cooperation in its territory during this period. In the First Lula Government there was a greater interest in strengthening relations with Angola and other African nations. To this end, history was used as one of the pillars of the new foreign policy. The government's recognition that Brazil owed a historic debt to all of Africa and that it was time to reconcile this past set the tone for the government's discourse. Thus, cooperation in areas of greatest need has become the focus of negotiations between the parties. With this strategy, Brazilian foreign policy sought to meet its interests in both the political and economic spheres. In the first, it sought to expand the Brazilian role in the international scenario, the increase of this influence, consequently, could result in the conquest of a permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council, one of the objectives of the Lula Government. In the second, in addition to aiming at the country's economic growth, it sought to internationalize some National Institutions, transforming them into an International reference. In short, the Lula Government, through South-South Cooperation with developing countries, bilateral agreements with African nations, mainly Portuguese- speaking nations, and the historical rescue it promoted, sought the political and economic development of Brazil, as well as the valuing the cultural aspects that created our people.
