São Paulo – The president of the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil), Sergio Segovia, signed an agreement with the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) this Tuesday morning (20). Segovia and Rubens Hannun, the president of the ABCC, signed the agreement remotely during the Economic Forum Brazil & Arab Countries taking place online until next Thursday. The event also features a virtual trade show.
“We have the opportunity to build an even tighter-knit relationship with the Arab Brazilian Chamber, and to commit to advancing this prolific partnership towards enhancing business between Brazilian and Arab enterprises. This action ensures the continuation of the long, shared journey of Apex-Brasil and the Arab Chamber, one that has delivered actual business deals among our clients,” said Segovia.
Hannun said that since both organizations have offices in Dubai, they are working in tandem across the Gulf. “The synergy is very strong, and this agreement will attest to the complementarity of our organizations. This is ultimately to the advantage of Brazilian companies. We will also be able to share information, complementary information, and that will add to Brazilian-Arab trade.”
Hannun also said that the ABCC is getting ready to open new offices in Riyadh and Cairo, and that Apex will be able to use those facilities. The ABCC and Apex-Brasil reached their first agreement in 2010, in a bid to map out and explore business opportunities.
