The Brazilian embassy in Pakistan was established in 1952, shortly after the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1948.[5] Brazil was the first Latin American country to open a diplomatic mission in Pakistan.[6] The embassy was formerly located at 6 Victoria Road, Karachi, during the 1950s, before the capital was shifted to Islamabad in the 1960s.[7] It is concurrently accredited to Afghanistan and Tajikistan.
