This article treats about the engagement of Brazil with Africa in the new century, which reflects a time in which there was an increase in presence of Brazil in the continent motivated by, not only changes in the conditions of stability in Africa, but also by Brazilian diplomatic investments through African countries and by also favorable internal Brazilian economic conditions, which enabled economic growth and international proactivity.

On the Brazil side, Lula government foreign policy pursuit revert the distance settled during the 1990’s, by improving not only incentives to the Brazilian companies but also bilateral cooperation, commerce and high level meetings.
