COA's Eric Farnsworth on Brazilian-Iranian Relations
"Brazil's growing influence on the global stage means that leaders with whom the president of Brazil chooses to meet gain greater credibility and, indeed, legitimacy through those meetings," says COA's vice president, commenting on the Iranian president's November 23 trip to Brazil.
COA's Eric Farnsworth provides insight into the visit by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Brazil on November 23. "Brazil's growing influence on the global stage means that leaders with whom the president of Brazil chooses to meet gain greater credibility and, indeed, legitimacy through those meetings," says Farnsworth. "This is occurring just at the same time as much of the rest of the international community is attempting to work to isolate Iran based on that countrys nuclear ambitions as well as some of the activities that Iran has been engaged in the promotion of global terrorism including some activities in the Western Hemisphere itself."
