The geographic scope of international activities of a country is drawn from guidelines of action established by its foreign policy. In Brazilian case, the African continent has been perceived by the diplomatic school of thought as a privileged place for the Brazilian international presence, because of historical and cultural ties, and also because of economic and political complementarities. In the Brazil-Africa relations, this perception has varied over the years, generating rapprochements or retractions, due to international and domestic contexts of both sides. In recent years, over the government of Lula da Silva in Brazil, this movement converged to stronger ties and partnerships and diversified cooperation agreements. The understanding this process, as well as its initial development, is what will be addressed by this thesis. From the questioning of the importance of diplomatic relations between Brazil and African countries, this thesis is based on survey data on foreign trade, the diplomatic discourse analysis, the reading of expert analysis and the monitoring of developments in the appreciation of the role of African continent for Brazilian foreign policy. The research has led to the lifting of the hypothesis about the assertiveness and pragmatism of African policy of Lula da Silva government, according to their results and relations with the national interest.
