“We were very happy to have supported Norwegian in this process of opening the direct route from Rio de Janeiro to London. One of the main goals of our Diplomatic Mission in Brazil is to expand the relationship between Brazil and the United Kingdom on several fronts, such as in politics, tourism, science, business and investment. We believe that this new line will enable more Brazilians to know the UK beyond London and we hope that Brazilian companies can take advantage of this moment to establish their business on British soil and that British companies will know more about the Brazilian market, “added Vijay Rangarajan, British Ambassador to Brazil.
