Red carpet for PM in Brazil

September 13, 2006
India and Brazil on Tuesday signed nine agreements ranging from scientific and technological cooperation to enhancing air services between the two nations.

A memorandum of understanding between Brazilian company Petrobras and ONGC-OVL was also inked in the presence of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Brazil President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Both leaders said they were committed to better and prosperous relations despite the great distance between the two countries.

The two nations also stressed their desire to be members of a new expanded UN security council, which would be more representative of the changed world order.

"I am leaving behind a part of my heart today in Brazil and we will succeed in building a new world order," Dr Singh said in his speech at Alvorada Palace, the official residence of President of Brazil.
