Argentina–Brazil relations

The Argentina–Brazil relationship is both close and historical, and encompasses the economy, trade, culture, education, and tourism.[2] From war and rivalry to friendship and alliance, this complex relationship has spanned more than two centuries. The countries also share a system of government, both being federal republics with a presidential system.

Rio de Janeiro was the first capital to recognize Argentinian independence, whereas Buenos Aires’ was the first government to recognize Brazil's independence.[3] After achieving independence from the Iberian crowns in the early nineteenth century, Argentina and Brazil inherited a series of unresolved territorial disputes from their colonial powers. The most serious breach in the relationship was the Cisplatine War (1825–1828), led by the Brazilian invasion and annexation of the Banda Oriental. Despite the numerous periods of muted hostility, the Argentine–Brazilian relationship was not defined by open hostility for most of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. There was competition on many levels, and their respective defense policies reflected mutual suspicion, but the Brazilian economic rise in the 1980s led to the accommodation of Argentina as a secondary regional power and increasing cooperation.[4]

With the creation of the Brazilian–Argentine Agency for Accounting and Control of Nuclear Materials in 1991, the two countries turned their nuclear competition into cooperation through mutual confidence.[5] A high volume of trade and migration between Argentina and Brazil has generated closer ties, especially after the implementation of Mercosur in 1991.[6] Today, the strategic relationship between Argentina and Brazil is considered to be "at the highest point in history".[7] Argentine foreign policy has given special emphasis in "deepening the strategic alliance with Brazil in all its aspects".[8] Likewise, Argentina has been "an absolute priority" for Brazilian foreign policy.[9]

Overview

Argentina and Brazil are neighbouring countries of South America, and two of the most important economies in South America. The two countries combined represent 63% of the total area of South America, 60% of its population and 61% of its GDP.[10]

History

Independence and consolidation
See also: Spanish American wars of independence and Brazilian Independence

Argentina and Brazil share the Río de la Plata basin– an area where Portuguese and Spanish conquistadors collided in their ambition to conquer new land for their respective crowns. After achieving independence from the Iberian crowns in the early nineteenth century, the Argentine Republic and the Brazilian Empire inherited a series of unresolved territorial disputes from their colonial powers, involving Paraguay and Uruguay, the other two nations of the Río de la Plata basin.

The battle of Juncal, during the Cisplatine War.

It was during this time that the Cisplatine War, the first armed conflict between both countries, started. From 1825 to 1828 the forces of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata outfought those of the Brazilian Empire, until the signing of the Treaty of Montevideo that gave independence to Uruguay from both countries. Given the high cost of the war for both sides and the burdens it imposed on trade between the United Provinces and the United Kingdom, the latter pressed the two belligerent parties to engage in peace negotiations in Rio de Janeiro. Under British and French mediation, the United Provinces of River Plate and the Empire of Brazil signed the 1828 Treaty of Montevideo, which acknowledged the independence of the Cisplatine Province under the name Eastern Republic of Uruguay. Troops of both countries would face each other once again later, during the Platine War, when a coalition of Brazil, Uruguay and Argentine rebels managed to defeat Rosas (helped in turn by Uruguayan rebels led by Manuel Oribe). Another war almost happened during the 1870s when Brazil refused to accept Argentina's desire to take all the Chaco region for itself after the end of the Paraguayan War (also known as the War of the Triple Alliance) when both countries were allies against Paraguay.

Brazil did not settle disputes with Argentina over its precise national boundaries until the early twentieth century. It had settled with Uruguay in 1851, with Peru in 1851 and 1874, with Colombia in 1853, with Venezuela in 1859, with Bolivia in 1867 and with Paraguay in 1872,[11] but not with Argentina, Guyana, French Guyana and Suriname. However, it had consolidated most of its vast territory under a single authority by the middle of the nineteenth century, achieved as the result of the work of the empire's political elite. In contrast, the Argentine Republic's nineteenth century experience was marked by infighting between contending factions—those favoring a federalist republic—struggling against the strong centralist tendencies of the city of Buenos Aires (Unitarians). Argentina's unification and territorial consolidation under a single authority was completed by the 1880s.

Despite this inheritance of unresolved territorial disputes and numerous periods of muted hostility, the Argentine–Brazilian relationship was not defined by open hostility for most of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. There was competition on many levels, and their respective defense policies reflected mutual suspicion, but their bilateral relationship was not adversarial. After the mid-1850s, neither country resorted to coercion or the use of force to resolve territorial disputes, and during the only general war that took place in the Plata region– the Paraguayan War (1864–1870)– Argentina and Brazil were allied against Paraguay.

Nonetheless, at later part of 19th century, concerns from Argentina over Brazil's possible imperialistic ambition remained, as well as Brazil's close commercial tie with Chile, the rival of Argentina. Fear from possible Brazilian intervention in support for Chile amidst the War of the Pacific had led to Argentina maintaining status quo with Brazil.

Twentieth Century
See also: South American dreadnought race
Visit of the President of Argentina, General Julio Argentino Roca, Brazil, March 1907.

In Brazil, the liberal revolution of 1930 overthrew the oligarchic coffee plantation owners and brought to power an urban middle class that and business interests that promoted industrialization and modernization. Aggressive promotion of new industry turned around the economy by 1933. Brazil's leaders in the 1920s and 1930s decided that Argentina's implicit foreign policy goal was to isolate Portuguese-speaking Brazil from Spanish-speaking neighbors, thus facilitating the expansion of Argentine economic and political influence in South America. Even worse, was the fear that a more powerful Argentine Army would launch a surprise attack on the weaker Brazilian Army. To counter this threat, President Getúlio Vargas forged closer links with the United States. Meanwhile, Argentina moved in the opposite direction. During World War II, Brazil was a staunch ally of the United States and sent its military to Europe. The United States provided over $100 million in Lend-Lease grants, in return for free rent on air bases used to transport American soldiers and supplies across the Atlantic, and naval bases for anti-submarine operations. In sharp contrast, Argentina was officially neutral and at times favored Germany.[12][13]

Communication and physical integration between the two neighbors was limited. The benefits of developing closer economic, political, and cultural relations were not considered until late in the 20th century.

Since 1945, the most acrimonious bilateral dispute concerned the control of water resources along the Alto Paraná basin. In 1966, Brazil and Paraguay concluded the Iguaçu Act, announcing their intention to build a Brazilian–Paraguayan hydroelectric plant, Itaipú dam, on the Paraná River, on the Argentina–Brazil–Paraguay border. The Treaty of Itaipú was signed in Brasília in 1973. However, Buenos Aires feared that Brazil's project would hinder its own plans for the water resources development in the area. For almost a decade, the dispute soured bilateral relations and hampered efforts to forge closer economic and political links.

The dispute over water resources was finally resolved by intense diplomatic negotiations. In October 1979, the Itaipú–Corpus Multilateral Treaty on Technical Cooperation was concluded, ending the dispute to the satisfaction of all three neighbors and opening the way for a dramatic improvement in relations. After the conclusion of the Itaipu–Corpus Treaty, Brazilian president João Figueiredo visited Argentina, the first Brazilian leader to do so in more than four decades.

Figueiredo, the last president of the military rulers who had governed Brazil for 21 years, visited Buenos Aires in May 1980 and signed, among other agreements, a series of accords to collaborate on nuclear issues. Reflecting their shared opposition to the nuclear non-proliferation regime, Argentina and Brazil agreed to co-operate and exchange technical information, materials, and products on all aspects of the nuclear fuel cycle.

Following the resolution of the water resources dispute and the Brazilian president's successful visit, an unexpected and traumatic event took place in Argentina that further improved bilateral relations: the 1982 Falklands War.

Falklands War

Three years after calling off the Operation Soberania to invade the Picton, Nueva and Lennox islands, Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands (Spanish: Islas Malvinas) in April 1982, starting a brief but important war with the United Kingdom. Brazil supported the Argentine claim over the Falkland Islands:

After reviewing the issue regarding the Falkland Islands, His Excellency the President of the Federative Republic of Brazil expressed the support of his Government to the Argentine Republic, reaffirming his belief that the negotiations in progress will yield satisfactory results within a brief amount of time.

— Ministry of External Relations of Brazil[14]

On 3 June 1982, a British Vulcan diverted to an emergency landing in Brazil when its in-flight refueling probe broke en route to Ascension Island after bombing Argentine positions in the Falkland Islands. The crew sent a "Mayday" signal, jettisoned classified documents, and attempted to ditch its missile armament, but all bar one malfunctioned and remained on the pylons. The Vulcan was intercepted by Brazilian F-5 Tiger II jets and escorted to the Galeão Air Force Base in Rio de Janeiro, where the crew and aircraft were interned.[15][16][17] After diplomatic negotiations with the United Kingdom, the aircraft and crew were released on 11 June. However, the remaining Sidewinder and AGM-45 Shrike missiles on board the aircraft were confiscated by the Brazilian authorities. After hostilities ended in June 1982, Buenos Aires chose Brazil to represent its interests in London until full diplomatic relations with United Kingdom were restored in 1990. Thus, despite rivalry and historical suspicions, Brazil's actions and policies during the most traumatic period of Argentina's recent history—objectionable military rule, near-conflict with Chile and the Falklands War—were fundamental to build trust between the two countries.

International border between Argentina (Puerto Iguazú) and Brazil (Foz do Iguaçú)

Argentina's defeat in the war against Britain hastened the end of its domestic military rule. General elections were held in October 1983, and President Raul Alfonsín was elected with a mandate to ensure that Argentina's recent past was not repeated. Among his main achievements, President Alfonsín started to resolve the enduring territorial conflict with Chile during his six-year term, and significantly improved relations with Brazil.

Argentina's intention to forge a closer relationship with Brazil was matched by Brazil's intention to do the same. While still under military rule, Brazil initiated a policy of improving relations with its South American neighbors, and Argentina was considered the key country in this effort. The initiative was accelerated after 1985 when José Sarney, became the first civilian president of Brazil since 1964. Soon after taking power, President Sarney met with President Alfonsín, and thereafter a series of diplomatic initiatives and presidential visits took place. The aim of these exchanges was to deepen the process of cultural, political, and economic rapprochement between Argentina and Brazil.

Democratization (1985)

After democratization, a strong integration and partnership began between the two countries. In 1985 they signed the basis for the Mercosur, a regional trade agreement.

In the field of science, the two regional giants had been rivals since the 1950s when both governments launched parallel nuclear and space programs, however, several agreements were signed since then such as the creation of the Brazilian-Argentine Agency for Accounting and Control of Nuclear Materials (ABACC) to verify both countries' pledges to use nuclear energy only for peaceful purposes.

Also on the military side there has been greater rapprochement. In accordance with the friendship policy, both armies dissolved or moved major units previously located at their common border (e.g. Argentine's 7th Jungle and 3rd Motorized Infantry Brigades). Brazilian soldiers are embedded in the Argentine peacekeeping contingent at UNFICYP in Cyprus and they are working together at MINUSTAH in Haiti and, as another example of collaboration, Argentine Navy aircraft routinely operates from the Brazilian Navy carrier NAe São Paulo.

Pink tide (2005-2015)
Former President of Brazil Dilma Rousseff and former Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, in 2015

The Néstor Kirchner administration placed Brazil as a foreign policy priority and relations with Brazil were considered strategic.[18] This was met with reciprocity in Brazil, as Lula da Silva placed Argentina as the main priority of his foreign policy.[19] The first foreign visit of Lula da Silva, as president-elect, was to Argentina in December 2002.[19] From the Brazilian perspective, only with this strategic alliance would it be possible to transform South America into a world power bloc, one of the goals of Lula da Silva's foreign policy.[20]

Since 2003, Argentina and Brazil have coordinated their positions in the multilateral fora, as can be seen by their joint participation in the agricultural negotiations at the WTO meeting in Cancún, their joint position in regards to the creation of the Free Trade Area of the Americas, and their articulation at the G-20 to reform the international financial system.[19] The creation of the Union of South American Nations, in 2008, was a landmark in the new foreign policies of Brazil and Argentina.[19] In another sign of mutual trust, since 2003, diplomats from both countries occupy a single seat in the United Nations Security Council when either of them hold a non-permanent seat.[21]

In the economic arena, Argentina and Brazil dropped the U.S. dollar and started using their own currencies on all bilateral commercial transactions in 2008.[22]

On 6 September 2008, the President of Argentina, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, traveled to Brazil to consolidate relations between the two countries. She was the guest of honor at the Independence Day celebrations that took place on 7 September 2008 and witnessed the military parade in Brasília. The following day, she held discussions with President Lula on a variety of bilateral issues including energy, defense and nuclear cooperation.[23]

On 28 October 2010 president Lula da Silva traveled to Buenos Aires to give his condolences for Néstor Kirchner's death.[24] The Brazilian Government declared three days of national mourning.[25]

"Our alliance with Brazil is indestructible"

— Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman.[26]

President Dilma Rousseff chose Argentina as the first foreign trip of her presidency, in a demonstration of the "special and strategic" ties between the two countries.[27] During her state visit to Buenos Aires on 31 January 2011, Rousseff stated that "it was not a casual decision to pick Argentina as my first foreign destination" and praised Argentina as a "strategic ally" to her country.[28] "The Brazilian government assumes, once again, a true commitment with the Argentine government as well as a joint policy intended to promote a development strategy for the region. For me the main idea is that of a strategic relationship with Argentina, which should shine itself in all areas of interest of both countries", said Rousseff in conversations with local newspapers before arriving in Buenos Aires.[29]

Recent years

In the last year, relations between Brazil and Argentina have cooled due to deep ideological differences between the Brazilian right-wing president, Jair Bolsonaro and the left-wing president of Argentina, Alberto Fernández, mainly due to the Brazilian's rejection of the Argentine, proof of the difficult relationship was shown during the inauguration of the Argentine president which Fernández was elected president of Argentina, displacing Mauricio Macri, Bolsonaro's right-wing ally, where he showed all his support during Macri's disastrous re-election campaign, where he was defeated by deep popular anger for his austerity policies and ineffective presidency. Initially, Bolsonaro announced that he would not appear for the election of Fernández nor would he send a Brazilian representative, showing the turbulent relationship between the two South American powers where for the first time in 23 years, there would be no Brazilian representation in the assumption of their main commercial ally, putting at risk the continuity of the organization of Mercosur, already almost non-existent due to the suspension of Venezuela during Maduro's dictatorship. Days later, he decided to send Brazilian vice-president, Hamilton Mourão as representative. Another cause of the dislike between each presidents are the relations between their sons, Fernandez's son is known in Argentina as a drag performer and cosplayer, with a progressive stance, while Bolsonaro's sons are conservative and opposed to LGBT rights.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bolsonaro is frequently questioned for his handling of the situation and his management of the country's health system, and compared to his Argentine counterpart. Bolsonaro has attacked Argentina's handling of COVID-19 and described Argentina as being a country that is "heading towards socialism", comparing it negatively with countries such as Cuba and Venezuela, while identifying his own COVID-19 strategy with Sweden. At the time that Bolsonaro made these comments, Brazil had recorded 66 COVID-19 deaths per 1 million inhabitants, more than seven times Argentina's rate of 8 recorded COVID-19 deaths per 1 million inhabitants and Cuba's rate of 7 recorded COVID-19 deaths per 1 million inhabitants.[30]

Argentine Foreign Minister Felipe Solá met with Bolsonaro and affirmed that despite the cold relations between their countries, Argentina is willing to collaborate and provide health care to Brazil during the pandemic, even though on 2 July 2020, the Mercosur summit began via videoconference, where the coldness of both presidents was shown, where they did not speak each other and Férnandez made a hint that he respects the position of the leaders, only that he doesn't coincide with the ideology of another president, addressing Bolsonaro.

Current issues

Military cooperation

The SABIA-Mar, scheduled to be launched in 2022, is a Brazilian/Argentine earth observation satellite.

Brazil and Argentina are engaged in several joint venture projects in the military field, such as the Gaucho armored vehicle and the Embraer KC-390 military transport aircraft. The Gaucho is a Light Strike Vehicle capable of reconnaissance, air assault, command and control, transport and evacuation missions.[31] The Gaucho project started in 2004 and entered production in 2006.[31] Argentina is responsible for the design and construction of the chassis, engine mounts, transmission, steering and suspension.[31] Brazil, for its part, developed and installed the brake system, engine, transmission and transfer case, as well as the cooling system, electrical system, fuel, armament and accessories.[31]

Brazil and Argentina have also entered a partnership to jointly develop the KC-390 twin-engine military transport aircraft.[32] Argentina has agreed to manufacture KC-390 components and possibly purchase six of the aircraft.[32]

The Argentine Army has shown interest in a possible version of the 8x8 armored vehicles VBTP-MR Guaraní developed by the Brazilian Army with the support of Iveco. The Argentine military are also operators of the Brazilian military Agrale Marruá vehicle.

Scientific cooperation

Argentina and Brazil have close cooperation in the field of space science – the National Space Activities Commission of Argentina and the Brazilian Space Agency have been working together since the 1990s. In 2007, Brazil and Argentina successfully launched a rocket into space, in the first joint space mission by the two countries. The VS-30 rocket was launched from the Barreira do Inferno Launch Center and carried experiments from both countries.[33]

The Brazilian–Argentine Agency for Accounting and Control of Nuclear Materials was created in 1991. During President Lula's state visit to Buenos Aires on 22 February 2008, the two countries established a binational commission on pursuing joint uranium enrichment for nuclear energy purposes.[23][34]

Falkland Islands
Further information: Falkland Islands sovereignty dispute
The VS-30, Argentina and Brazil cooperated on this sounding rocket.

The Brazilian government has been a strong supporter of the Argentine claim over the Falkland Islands[35] – which both countries term Malvinas (Brazil: Ilhas Malvinas / Argentina: Islas Malvinas).[36]

In a joint communiqué issued by the Brazilian and Argentine governments on 3 August 2010, "the President of the Federative Republic of Brazil reiterated the support of his country to the legitimate rights of Argentina in the sovereignty dispute regarding the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding maritime areas".[37] The Brazilian government also stressed that the exploration of offshore oil that the United Kingdom carries out in the Argentine continental shelf is "illegal" and "inconsistent with what determines the United Nations".[37]

Brazilian authorities have also voiced their support for the Argentine claim at the multilateral fora, including the United Nations, the Rio Group, Mercosur, the Organization of American States, and Unasur.[38] Brazil has criticized the United Nations for not acting on the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands,[39] and accused the United Kingdom of using its status as permanent member of the Security Council to prevent the debate from being reopened.[39]

In accordance with a resolution adopted at the 2010 South American Summit prohibiting British vessels operating under the "illegal flag of the Malvinas (Falkland Islands)" from docking at South American ports,[40] the government of Brazil denied the British ship HMS Clyde access to Rio de Janeiro on 11 January 2011.[41] In a statement, the Brazilian Minister of Defense, Nelson Jobim, noted that Brazil "recognizes Argentine sovereignty over the Malvinas (Falkland Islands) and not the British claim" and therefore "will not authorize any requests made from British ships or aircraft in military operations in the Falklands".[42]

Trade and investment

Trade

Brazil accounts for Argentina's largest export and import market,[43] while Argentina accounts for Brazil's fourth largest export and import market. Total trade between the two countries amounted to the sum of US$22.5 billion in 2016.[44] Argentine exports to Brazil amounted to US$9.1 billion while Brazilian exports to Argentina totaled US$13.4 billion. In recent years, trade between the two countries decreased as commodity prices fell and Brazil experienced slower economic growth.[45]

2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010
Argentine exports to Brazil $5.6 billion $6.2 billion $8 billion $10.4 billion $13.3 billion $11.3 billion $14.4 billion
Brazilian exports to Argentina $7.4 billion $9.9 billion $11.7 billion $14.4 billion $17.6 billion $12.8 billion $18.5 billion
Total trade $13 billion $16.1 billion $19.7 billion $24.8 billion $30.9 billion $24.1 billion $32.9 billion

Investment

Argentina is the main destination for Brazilian investment in South America.[6] Brazilian investments in Argentina are mostly in oil, cement, mining, steel, textiles, cosmetics, banks, food, and beverages.[6] According to the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, forty percent of direct investment in Argentina comes from Brazil.[6]

State visits

Since 2003, Presidential meetings are held every six months alternately in each country,[47] and besides those there are more for other reasons (UNASUR, Mercosur, G20, etc.).
