Abstract

Brazil has a remarkable presence in the Middle East, because of its old relationship with the peoples and countries of the region, aimed for pacific solutions and negotiation process in order to promote peace and security. The Brazilian presence has recently increased due to its military participation in the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL), enhancing its role and political influence in region, opening a new path to increase economic and commercial cooperation with the countries of the region. Brazil, as one of the most important global countries in economic, industry, science and technology, can contribute to the development of the Middle East countries. In this context, the research stresses the strategy and Brazil's policy in the Middle East, especially in Lebanon. This policy derives from the Brazilian external policy and has the aim to promote global stability. Today, the Middle East countries need stability and development, after a long period of conflict and wars that roamed destruction and underdevelopment.
