Dear Partners and Observers,

 

It is my very great pleasure to welcome Minister João Genésio de Almeida Filho, Director General of the Department of Energy at the Ministry of External Relations of Brazil, as new Co-Chair of GBEP, succeeding Minister Reinaldo Salgado.

 

Minister de Almeida Filho is a Brazilian diplomat with experience in cooperation in science and technology; multilateral fora specialized in cocoa, sugar and coffee; and political affairs in Africa, having served in South Africa for seven years and twice having been Chargé d´Affaires in Zimbabwe. Afterwards he was appointed to set up the IBSA and BRICS Division in the Ministry of External Relations (MER). In 2011, he served as Minister-Counsellor for human rights and humanitarian affairs in the Brazilian Mission to the United Nations in Geneva. Up to the end of 2016, he occupied the post of Deputy Consul-General of Brazil in Geneva.

 

I look forward to Minister João Genésio de Almeida Filho contributing with his leadership and expertise to the Partnership. Please join the GBEP Chair Francesco La Camera and me in welcoming Minister de Almeida Filho to the GBEP family.

 

Kind regards,

 

Maria Michela Morese
