The embassy of Brazil in Nigeria and NTT Global Destination (NGD), a tourism company, are set to host a special cultural diplomacy evening in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
The event, tagged “Around the World in a Bottle – One Sip at a Time”, will hold on Thursday at the Ballroom in Abuja.
In a statement on Monday, the organisers said the event will be hosted to welcome delegates from Africa and other parts of the world to Abuja for the Afroeximbank‘s Annual General Meeting (AGM), the AU MSME Summit, and key bilateral business dialogues.
The event is coming as part of the activities to unwind in a week described as a key business week in Abuja.

According to the organisers, the Thursday event will be an evening of cultural storytelling through global beverages, taking guests across the six continents.
“The week’s discussions in Abuja are shaping Africa’s economic future. This event adds a cultural dimension to those efforts reminding us of the role that shared heritage, hospitality, and storytelling play in building stronger ties,” said Elizabeth Agboola, CEO of NGD.
Following the Abuja showcase, NGD will also co-host a side event during the CARICOM Heads of Government Meeting in Jamaica on July 8, 2025, in partnership with Afreximbank and Jamaican National Bank.

That programme held under NGD’s Motherland Reconnect platform will highlight African and Caribbean synergies across trade, tourism, and the creative economy.
NTT’s involvement in both locations reflects the growing role of private sector actors in complementing diplomatic and regional efforts through cultural initiatives that open doors for deeper collaboration.
