Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is due to visit about eight African countries from August.
The visit is to strengthen political and economic ties on the continent.
Ghana, Angola, Mozambique, Senegal, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Sao Tomé and Principe are among the countries that he is expected to visit.
His first tour will coincide with the BRICS Summit of Heads of State and Government scheduled for August in South Africa, while the second could take place on the sidelines of the next African Union Summit, to be held in February 2024.
Brazil also plans to reopen its embassy in Sierra Leone and set up diplomatic representation in Rwanda.
