Brasília – Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro accepted credentials this Monday (21) from five incoming ambassadors to Brazil, during a closed-door ceremony at government seat Palácio do Planalto. The newly inaugurated diplomats are, Evagoras Vryonides, of Cyprus; Guillermo Valles Galmés, of Uruguay; Ahmad Hussain Dayo, of Pakistan; Suresh K. Reddy, of India; and Saleh Ahmad Salem Alzaraim Al-Suwaidi, of the United Arab Emirates.
Traditionally, an ambassador will take post after delivering documents supplied by their country’s president to the government of the country they have been assigned to. The presentation of credentials to the president is a formality which augments a diplomat’s scope of action. Ambassadors not presenting credentials are not allowed to represent their countries during hearings or official solemnities.
