We then visited Israel, where we identified innumerous opportunities for cooperation, especially in the areas of technology and security. I thank Israel for the support in the fight against the recent disasters which took place in my country.
We also visited one of our great partners in the Southern Cone, Argentina. With President Mauricio Macri and our partners in Uruguay and Paraguay, we pushed ideology away from MERCOSUR and conquered important trade victories by concluding negotiations which had been dragging for decades.
Still this year we will visit important Asian partners, both in the Far East and in the Middle East. These visits will fortify the friendship and the deepening relations with Japan, China, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. We intend to follow that same path with the entire Arab world and Asia.
We also look forward to visiting our partners and friends in Africa, Oceania, and Europe.
As you can see, Brazil is a country open to the world, in search of partnerships with all who are interested in working toward prosperity, peace, and freedom.

Ladies and gentlemen,
The Brazil I represent is a country resurgent, reinvigorating partnerships and reconquering its confidence politically and economically.
We are prepared to take on the responsibilities attributed to us in the international system.
During the last decades, we have allowed ourselves to be seduced, unwittingly, by ideological systems of thought which sought not truth, but absolute power.
Ideology took root in the areas of culture, education, and media, dominating means of communication, universities, and schools.
Ideology invaded our homes to attack the cellula mater of any healthy society, family.
They also try to destroy our children's innocence, perverting their most basic and elementary identity, the biological one.
The politically correct has come to dominate public debate, to cast out rationality and replace it with manipulation, with the repetition of cliche's, and with slogans.
Ideology has invaded the very human soul to cast out from it God and the dignity which He invested upon us.
And, with such methods, this ideology has always left a trail of death, ignorance, and misery wherever it went.
