On November 20, 2025, a Brazilian Defence delegation led by Admiral Guilherme Da Silva Coasta, Head of Culture and Education of the Joint Staff of Brazilian Armed Forces, visited the College of Defence Management (CDM) in Secunderabad. The delegation was briefed by Major General G Srinivas, Commandant of CDM, on the college’s training programs, including the flagship Higher Defence Management Course, and introduced to the Comprehensive Assessment of Security Strategies (COMPASS) framework for strategic net assessment. Admiral Coasta lauded the academic excellence, cutting-edge infrastructure, and knowledge dissemination at CDM, highlighting the strong bilateral ties between India and Brazil and expressing interest in deepening academic collaborations. This visit builds on the strategic roadmap forged during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s July 2025 visit to Brazil, where India and Brazil agreed on enhancing defence and security cooperation over the next decade, including joint military exercises, exchange of high-level defence delegations, and a Bilateral Cybersecurity Dialogue to strengthen cooperation in cybersecurity and intelligence sharing. The visit underscores India’s expanding global defence partnerships and South-South cooperation.
