Japan and Brazil have agreed on a "partnership program" for bilateral cooperation in providing technical assistance for developing countries, government sources said Wednesday.
The program between Japan, the world's largest aid donor, and Brazil, by far Latin America's biggest power, will be signed by high-level government officials of both countries as early as this month, the sources said.
After signing the Japan-Brazil Partnership Program, the Japan International Cooperation Agency, a government-affiliated aid organ, will dispatch a mission to Brazil to determine specific projects to be covered under the program, the sources said.
