The Brazilian Center for International Relations (CEBRI) participated in the 18th GIBSA Dialogue: Sources and Manifestations of Foreign Policy, held from October 13 to 15, 2025, in Amritsar, India.

The meeting brought together representatives from think tanks, universities, research institutions, and government authorities from the four countries to discuss how historical trajectories, national identities, and regional contexts shape the foreign policies of Germany, India, Brazil, and South Africa.

Organized by the Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies (IPCS), the event consolidated itself as a space for convergence between academic reflection and strategic policy formulation on issues such as multilateralism, international security, climate change, energy, and migration.

The Brazilian delegation included Feliciano de Sá Guimarães, Academic Director at CEBRI and Editor-in-Chief of CEBRI-Journal; Hussein Kalout, Member of CEBRI’s International Advisory Board and Editor-in-Chief of CEBRI-Journal; and Ariane Costa, Deputy Director of the Geopolitics Program. They participated as speakers in sessions on Multilateralism and Multipolarity, Migration, Climate Change and Energy Security, and the Nuclear Order.

The program was broad and diverse, featuring roundtables, thematic sessions, research presentations, and interactive debates. During the conference, the Brazilian representatives highlighted the country’s historical trajectory marked by peaceful independence, the absence of border conflicts, and a diplomatic tradition centered on the peaceful settlement of disputes—factors that have shaped a pragmatic and universalist foreign policy committed to multilateralism.

Through its participation in GIBSA 2025, CEBRI reaffirmed its commitment to fostering high-level dialogue on global strategic issues, strengthening research networks and academic cooperation among Germany, India, Brazil, and South Africa.
