The 3rd Session of Political Consultations between the Republic of Botswana and the Federative Republic of Brazil took place on 6th December 2023, in Gaborone, Botswana.

The two countries established a framework for Political Consultations in 2017, with the inaugural Session taking place in Brazil in July 2017, and the second Session was held virtually in November 2020.

The 3rd Session in Gaborone was convened to take stock of the progress made in the implementation of decisions of the 2nd Session which explored enhanced cooperation in the areas of health; investment and trade; energy; as well as defence and security.

Some of the key milestones realised from the Political Consultations have among others included, the signing of the Visa Abolition Agreement in July 2022 and the 2010 Agreement on Technical Cooperation on Beef Cattle Production System in Botswana.
