In 1877, Emperor Pedro II of Brazil visited Beirut, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire.[2] The first Lebanese migrants to arrive to Brazil was in 1882, with the majority of them being Maronite Christians from Mount Lebanon.[3] In 1920, Brazil opened a consulate in Beirut to facilitate Ottoman (Lebanese) emigration to Brazil. By 1914, over 60,000 Lebanese had immigrated to Brazil.[4] In October 1945, Lebanon obtained its independence from France and in November 1945, Brazil recognized and established diplomatic relations with Lebanon.[1]
In 1954, Lebanese President Camille Chamoun paid an official visit to Brazil, becoming the first Lebanese head of state to visit Brazil. Later that year, both nations opened embassies in each other's capital's, respectively.[1] Between World War I and World War II, a second wave of Lebanese migrants immigrated to Brazil. The last wave of Lebanese immigrated to Brazil during the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990).[4]
Since 2011, Brazil has contributed troops and has taken command of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, based in the south of Lebanon and currently maintains 1,288 soldiers and personnel in the country.[5] In November 2011, then Brazilian Vice-President, Michel Temer, paid a visit to Lebanon. Temer, who is of Lebanese origin, became President of Brazil in August 2016.[6]
Both nations have signed several bilateral agreements, such as a Memorandum of Understanding on Political Consultations; Agreement on Visa Waiver for citizens holding diplomatic, service or official passports and an Agreement by Exchange of Notes to extend tourism and business visa validity in regular passports.[1]
