Brazil–Cuba relations
Brazilian-Cuban relations were classified as "excellent" in May 2008 following a meeting of foreign ministers.[1] After the 1964 coup, the military regime severed diplomatic relations with Cuba, which were only resumed after redemocratization in 1986. During a January 2008 state visit to Cuba by Brazilian President Lula da Silva, the Brazilian leader expressed desire for his country to be Cuba's "number one partner".[1] Since the election of Jair Bolsonaro in the 2018 Brazilian general election relations between Cuba and Brazil have worsened, exemplified by the cessation of the program agreed to by the governments of Dilma Rousseff and Raúl Castro for Cuban doctors to provide medical treatment to tens of millions of poor and indigenous Brazilians.[2]
