Both countries are rich in natural resources, play a vital role in the establishment of regional blocs, are members of G-20 and adhere to the principles of preventive diplomacy. The objective of this article is to show the role of the concept of strategic partnerships in the foreign policy of Brazil, whose international influence in the UN and other global structures is actively growing, and also to identify the characteristics of such partnership with Indonesia. Southeast Asia is becoming extremely important for the international economic system, and Indonesia, located on 17,000 islands, has an important geostrategic position, since all major sea routes in the Indian and Pacific Ocean pass through it. Indonesia is currently distinguished thanks to its steady economic growth, political stability, integration into the global economy, and increased activity on international platforms. Consequently, it is no surprise that Brazilian-Indonesian strategic partnership has started to manifest itself not only in the development of comprehensive ties, but also in the cooperation in upholding the ideas of sustainable development, disarmament, as well as the peaceful resolution of conflicts on the global level. The authors utilized a problematic-chronological method that allowed to analyze the areas of contacts between Brazil and Indonesia in the global arena, to find the problems and promising areas of partnership-including the oil and gas sector, the exchange of technologies, the creation of favorable investment climate, the coordination of activity in international organizations, and willingness to take into consideration mutual interests.
