Brazil downgrades ties with Argentina

By Alimat Aliyeva

The Brazilian government has decided to downgrade its diplomatic
relations with Argentina to the level of chargé d’affaires, marking
a new low in ties between the two neighboring countries, AzerNEWS
reports.

As part of the decision, Brazil will not send Ambassador Julio
Bitelli back to Buenos Aires. Argentina’s ambassador to Brasília,
Daniel Raimondi, was formally informed of the move and received an
official diplomatic protest from Brazil’s Ministry of Foreign
Affairs.

According to local media reports, the decision came in response
to new critical remarks made by Argentine President Javier Milei
about Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, further
escalating tensions between the two governments.

The diplomatic downgrade does not mean that relations have been
severed, but it significantly reduces the level of official
political engagement and is often viewed as a strong signal of
dissatisfaction in international diplomacy. Analysts believe the
move could complicate bilateral cooperation on trade, regional
security, and economic initiatives in South America.
