Rousseff tells Cameron British interest in Brazil has come at the right time
President Dilma Rousseff said British interest in Brazil had come at the right time after her government announced last month a 66 billion dollars investment in road and railway building as part of a massive plan to upgrade her country's dilapidated infrastructure, which includes modernizing ports and airports.

Sep 29th, 2012 - 07:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0Thoroughly enjoyed the London Olympics, not just the fantastic sport but the whole Olympic experience. I have the opinion that Brazil are going to do a fantastic job for 2016, their enthusiasm seems limitless and I think they know that they have reached a point in the history where the Sky is the limit, this century is going to be a wonderful and exciting time to be Brazilian. Only a fool would would not try to hitch their carriage to their economic train and there is nothing wrong with increasing your prosperity by helping someone else to the same to do the same with theirs. This is a fantastic opportunity for British business and know how, all that is needed now is to develop a reputation for good quality, delivered on time and at a fair price to both.

Well it is very clear now that “yes Cristina, you're right, it is a regional cause” is just all about telling her what she wants to hear to shut her up. The UK has far more to offer Brazil than Argentina ever could and Dilma has realised this, she is also part of the G8, so she gets to see Cameron quite often and they are obviously developing a friendship. We are also strategically well placed between the US and Europe and we build damned impressive ships. Yes I think the Argies are going to be more than a little peeved about this.

@11 lightthink
English is the world's business language. It is the world's language for international flight and shipping. It is taught in nearly every school in the world.
Britain is a major world market and it has a lot of expertise in very many areas, it sells this around the world. You guys have your heads in the sand if you think Brazil can't benefit from british expertise and knowledge. And this trade connection is a two way street, all winners.
Dilma is not stupid and understands quite well the international realtions and scenario.
Sep 29th, 2012 - 11:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0It seems Cameron is very very worried about SAm unity if not he wouldnt have come.
and sorry to say but dont think Brasil finds your illegal usurpation near our region with militarisation and knowing you background of NATO and the role played in Middle east and Africa, and always usurpating, invading, etc, a nice deal. After all we share with Uruguay and Brasil the southatalntic, as it has to be, and will try to defend this stance. Business is business other thing a foreign country with intruders stealing intentions of land sea and resources.
This is good for both Britain and Brazil and truly disastrous for Argentina.
Sep 29th, 2012 - 11:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0Still it does make sense for us to share with Brazil our advanced military technology, I mean you never know when they are going to need to fend of the rogue state that is Argentina........
It also goes to show the reduction in Argentine influence in South America that many SA countries are forming alliances with Britain in the face of Argentine pressure.
I guess thats what happens when you're economy heads for a default again, your politicians keep embarrassing themselves on the world stage losing all credibility and many of the largest world bodies like the UN and IMF start looking to punish Argentina for breaching their policies. And they can't even threaten anyone with their rusty failed military...
you play the divide and conquer, and we know it.

If Brazil was truly Malvinistic it would be hypocritical to invite UK to do business. Falklands is not Dilma's dilemma. Brazil clearly would rather do business with us that side with CFK.
NATO keeps the peace and keeps us safe. You have no real equivalent in your neck of the woods. NATO never usurps.
You are clearly confused, you believe the south atlantic is just for the latin american countries. I think you'll find that it is only yours in certain places. Your talk is undoubtedly racist.
Always usurping. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. So, your colonialisation of south america does not count? Even now your country evicts indigenous peoples. Clearly you are a hypocrite.
Brazil does not dance to argentina's tune and it's a good thing too. To have a mindset link CFK would plunge Brazil into disaster.
Re-post
Sep 29th, 2012 - 11:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0I wrote on this site years ago that there was huge opportunity for UK trade with Brasil - particularly in INFRASTRUCTURE and EDUCATION. Naturally, there is always need for DEFENCE, and the UK has huge capacity to provide Brasil with the tools and skills needed for her to defend herself.
This guidance was passed through the official ambassadorial channels also.
The Olympics has been the catalyst to break the uneasy log-jams of Menendes, of TFI, of Mercosur/EU. World-scale success with the whole world watching is an amazing breaker-of-log-jams.
Bi-lateral deals is the way to go .... at least until Mercosur countries can agree on First world standard protocols for trade deals between blocs, and this could be a VERY long time coming. Then there has to be assurances that they will be stuck to by all countries signing the deals ... this could take even longer for certain countries.
I am massively pleased that JCB is in there and will build factories for its products in Brasil.
[Caterpillar (USA), JCB's major competitor, has manufactured in Brazil since 1954,with a product range including world class hydraulic excavators, compactors, wheel loaders, motor graders, backhoe loaders and crawler tractors, as well as tools and special accessories for their equipment. Recent plans include new factories in Brasil for backhoe and small wheel loaders.]
There is a HUGE need for *advanced* road construction across this massive sub-continental country. A country-wide world-class infrastructure - including whole new towns and cities - is just waiting to begin. The UK/EU can help this, as can China and the USA, etc.
Dilma can strip away the horrendous Brasilian barriers to trade of this scale.
I believe she is one of the few people in the Brasilian establishment with the skills and focussed drive to make this happen.
Sorry Musky havent you read the article here with Brasil desagreements with UK inspite of business??

But guess who sent their Embassy staff to the arena to try and get the Islands flag removed from display - and they were instead read the rules book by the organisers and left empty handed!

Taking oil resources (gas) from the islands will be only yours stealing

The Islands belong to the people of the Falkland's not to the UK so taking their own resources to a sane man doesn't consistent stealing.

Brazil is not going to let Argentina, Unusaur, Mercosur or the OAS get in the way of its own self interests. That is the interests of the people of Brazil who want a better future.
That future doesn't appear to lie solely with south America. Sensible countries trade with many different countries and shop around to get the best deals.
All your comments Guzz smack of jealousy. Are you jealous because Brazil is doing so much better than you own country (whichever nationality you are admitting to being today?)
Does it upset you because the Brazilians don't want to be a part of Argentina's united south America? Or is it because a united South America is more likely to be run by the Brazilians and not your beloved dictator?
Poor Guzz. Your dream of a new USSR (United SouthAmerican Socialist Republic) is going down the toilet just like the Argentine economy.

@21 You could try going to Liverpool, taking sovereignty and stealing resources. A word of warning. Scousers aren't Amerindians. They fight back. And here's the kicker. You cowardly lot sent 66,000 troops to overcome 80 Royal Marines. Metro Liverpool has a population of 1,381,200. Pro-rata, you are going to need 1,139,490,000 troops. Isn't that several times your entire population?
@26 You can make all the rules you like. INSIDE argieland. Neither the Falkland Islands, South Georgia nor the South Sandwich Islands are in argieland. You don't get to make rules for them. Get used to it. There is unlikely to be any appreciable change in the next 500 years.

Well, as you know I have only been in Uruguay for 19 months, but I have read about how Uruguay was formed, etc.
Did not Argentina try and subjugate Uruguay completely and Artigas (an Argentinean) kick their arses out of the country?
And, while this was going on, did not Brasil try and conquer Uruguay for themselves?
Is this the history you share with our neighbours? Mmmm! I think Uruguay is best doing what Brasil is doing and make the best effort to spread trade around the world and leave the 'neighbours' behind.
With neighbours like Argentina, we don’t need enemies.

Yes, at this moment in time I am sure you do. However, Dilma is doing something unique for a LatAm leader in my opion: she is moving with the times and JUST MAYBE has realised that being on the left all the time is perhaps seeing the world with jaundiced eyes.
I have every confidence that this woman would not let left wing dogma get in the way of improving her country. She is already head and shoulders above Lula (he of the impeccable corruption, ha ha ha) and seems poised to get rid of the rest of the deadwood such as Mantega.
You just watch Brasil go with this woman leading them (notice I did not say RULING them like Pepe uses).
Brazil and Argentina are very friends and good traders.....England since 1927 lost the trade with South América.... We are friends, no slaves! And Brazil support Argentina in the Falklands question!

Sep 29th, 2012 - 09:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You have the right to believe what you want to believe, but I advise you not to be taken in by Argentine lies.
The Falkland Islands community - arrived prior to 1833 (probably 1828/9).
The Republic of Argentina - formed in 1853.
So how could the Republic of Argentina have ever owned the Falklands before it was formed?
Oh, next you'll say the United Provinces of the River Plate. But weren't the United Provinces not so united and split to form what would later become Argentina and Uruguay?
Doesn't that mean that Uruguay has an equal claim?
Or is it because the United Provinces set up an illegal penal colony, which was protested by the British. That colony had been in place less than 3 months before they mutinied, murdered their commanding officer and raped his wife.
It was these murderers that were expelled. The actual colonists who were there prior to the illegal penal colony, stayed willingly the British flag. Their descendants live on the islands today.
If the UP really thought that the Falklands were theirs why didn't they send troops in 1833 to recapture them! There was no British military presence on the islands. The UP also didn't send any military force in the intervening years either.
How could Argentina have inherited it's sovereignty claim fom Spain? Spain dropped its sovereignty claim in the 1840's, but didn't recognise Argentina as an independent country until the 1860's. You can leave someone something that isn't yours, and Spain had already stated that the Falklands was no longer of interest to them.
These re just some of the inconsistencies in Argentina's 'claims'.
But the only thing that matters is that the Falkland Islanders whose ancestors lived othe Falklands before Argentina existed, have the right to choose their own future without fear of an aggressive neighbour, don't you agree?

Sep 30th, 2012 - 02:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Utopia (/juːˈtoʊpiə/) is an ideal community or society possessing a desirable socio-politico-legal system. The word was coined in Greek by Sir Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia, describing a fictional island in the Atlantic Ocean. The term has been used to describe both intentional communities that attempt to create an ideal society, and fictional societies portrayed in literature. It has spawned other concepts, most prominently dystopia.
Sorry to break the news to you, but Utopia does not exist, its fiction.
The real world is not a nice place, the real people living in it know that, the rest are doomed to a life time of unachievable goals, of constant frustration and disappointments. Humanity is what it is and no number of well meaning, high moral beings are ever going to change it. They can try but the outcome is already written, failure, plain and simple. It is as if it was genetic, programmed into the DNA strands of our species.
So I am sorry to say, no it is not coming to an end. Humanity exploits, it always has and it always will, it is just that some parts of it are better at it than others. Society just labels them with names and calls them nationalities.
Profound reasoning? maybe. An unpleasant view of us as a species? certainly, but that does not detract from the fact that it has basis in the fundamental truth about the planets most advanced beings. If you can call us that.
I'm responsible if I deny the utopy, when life dies in this reality...

Oct 01st, 2012 - 01:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0So good. Who is saying Britain and Brazil can't benefit each other? What argentines are saying is that Britain or Brazil have absolutely nothing that can benefit Argentina, so you can keep fostering retations, we want no part of relations with the UK, Europe, and increasingly quite frankly, Brazil.
None of you have anything of value to offer us.
Can't say anyone would want to invest in argieland when you can only take a fist full or dolores out the cuntry,doesn't inspire does it.Time the tossers in the government in Wasteminster got us out of the eu,frigging krupt funkers.Brazil is badly in need of skilled workers,which aren't that prominent in argieland either.The same problem exists in both countries,maybe more so in brasil,trmites and allthe other red tapethat take years to get through.

And a Brasilian jointly created Facebook.
Combine this with the list of things that continue to come out of the UK, TTT, and there are so many benefits that Argentina might gain by developing good relationships with Brasil and the UK.
It is a big world and there are many nations with the skills and talents that Argentina so direly needs, but Argentina seems to have a 'death-wish' in the manner in which it conducts its international trade and relations.
It is imperative for AR to keep in with BR ... and even more imperative that AR keeps in with the countries of the Developed world, like the UK.
AR's future is dire, TTT, if she continues to pi** on those willing and able to help her out of her predicament.

so are you saying TTT is not working for CFK then,
Oct 01st, 2012 - 06:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0and argentina does need help..
Argentina is a big country, with enough resources to themselves and others. In that sense, you are the ones who needs help... What kind of “help” are you offering here? Iraqi kind of help? Or Afghani? Mayhap you want to introduce your kind of democrazy in SA as well, as in the Middle East. Our Abu Ghraibs are shopping centers today, mate. Never again.
