On August 4, Brazil Defense Minister Nelson Jobim had signed with his Colombian counterpart Rodrigo Rivera Salazar a border agreement Aug. 4 in Tabatinga, Brazil, to combat organized crime and protect natural resources along their shared Amazon border. The agreement creates a Border Commission composed of security forces from both countries that will evaluate border security progress periodically. This is the first of 10 agreements Brazil plans to sign with neighboring countries to improve border security.
Next day the Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff announced that the former Foreign Minister Celso Amorim will replace Nelson Jobim as defense minister.
