Government of the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago

Ministry of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs



Embassy in Brasilia, Brazil

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Website of the Embassy of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in Brazil. This is a project that has been long in gestation and we are very pleased that with the hard work and dedication of the Staff at the Embassy and the support the Ministry of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs in Trinidad and Tobago, it has finally come to fruition.

Formal diplomatic relations were established between the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago and the Federative Republic of Brazil in 1965. Trinidad and Tobago established a resident mission in the then capital Rio de Janeiro in 1968 and was headed by Chargé d’Affaires, Dr. Harry Major until the Government appointed Ambassador Wilfred Andrew Rose as Trinidad and Tobago’s first Ambassador to Brazil. 

In 1970, Dr. Major was again called upon to assist in the relocation and establishment of the Trinidad and Tobago Mission from Rio de Janeiro to the new modern capital of Brasília and prepare the Chancery for the incoming ambassador, His Excellency Albert Gerard Montano. In 1973, Ambassador Gerard Montano signed the deed for the 22, 500 m² lot of land in the Embassy Sector donated by the Government of the Federative Republic of Brazil. 

In April 2011, Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar visited Brazil accompanied by Dr. the Honourable Surujrattan Rambachan, Minister of Foreign Affairs to unveil the plaque of the foundation stone for the construction of the new chancery in the North Embassy Sector. The laying of the foundation stone demonstrated the commitment of the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago to continue to strengthen and advance relations between the two countries.
