In relations with Brazil, in order to deviate from the US, Saudis Relations are not new.

A Company called Engesa, located in the city of Sao Jose dos Santos-SP state, for a long time has been selling military systems and hardware to the ME, excluding Israel.

Since Brazil has been considered the new oil superpower and actually quite before, Saudis have tried to establish close relations with the presidents- historically from the left, that demagogically support the US speaking badly about the US from behind the curtains.

Saudis have funded many new Islamic centers, one giant one in the Bras neighborhood, traditionally populated b y Jews, Christian Arabs and now many Koreans. A recent new center, along with a madrassa and a Hallal meat center has emerged, and many conversions and converters surround the area.
