In February 2008, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office - FCO launched its new mission statement:

"Better World, Better Britain"

This new mission reflects the fact that, in our interdependent world, we can no longer have environmental, physical or economic security in the UK without promoting it overseas. A better world will help make a better Britain.

The British diplomatic mission in Brazil is dedicated to the fulfilment of this mission, each post focusing on one area.

• The British Embassy is the main mission in the country responsible for the bilateral relations between UK and Brazil, and leads the delivery of the four policy priorities.
• The British Consulate General in São Paulo is mainly dedicated to one of the FCO's essential services: supporting the British economy.
• The British Consulate General in Rio de Janeiro is focused on the other two essential services: supporting British nationals abroad and supporting managed migration for Britain.
• The Consular Network across Brazil works in support of the activities of the three main British posts in Brazil.
