en.Wedoany.com Reported - Brazil and the European Union (EU) will sign a digital partnership agreement this Friday (12th), a move that will bring Brazil into the EU's group of strategic partners in the digital field.

According to the Brazilian government, the agreement was initiated by the EU, which currently maintains such agreements with only four countries: Canada, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore. Brazil's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Itamaraty) stated that the partnership aims to give a "high-level" political direction to the technical-level dialogue that has been ongoing between the two sides for years, and establishes cooperation mechanisms on priority topics.

Cooperation topics include artificial intelligence (AI) innovation and regulation, high-performance computing, data governance, digital signatures, and services. The signing ceremony is planned to be held at the Itamaraty Palace, with the agreement signed by Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice President of the European Commission for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy, and Esther Dweck, Brazil's Minister of Management and Innovation in Public Services.

The rapprochement between Brazil and the EU on the digital agenda has progressed in recent years. The EU sees Brazil as its main digital partner in Latin America. In 2024, the two sides established a digital economy dialogue at the technical level, subsequently discussing topics such as digital inclusion, digital transformation, and artificial intelligence. At a meeting held in Brussels in February 2025, they approved a 2025-2026 work plan focusing on artificial intelligence, data governance, digital platforms, connectivity, digital government, digital services, and future 6G networks.
