Palestine’s ambassador to Brazil Ibrahim Alzeben said Brazil’s ratification of the Mercosur-Palestine free trade agreement encourages other countries in the bloc to do the same and aids in the process of peace. He highlights the political relevance of the Brazilian action.

For the free trade agreement between Mercosur and the United Arab Emirates to progress, online meetings are set to occur in July and August, as well as an in-person negotiation in September. Finalization and signing of the deal are scheduled to November, during the G20 summit in Rio.

Brazilian foreign minister Mauro Vieira and his Tunisian counterpart Nabil Ammar met in Rio de Janeiro on Friday, when they signed a memorandum of understanding between the Rio Branco Institute and the International Diplomatic Academy of Tunis.

Foreign Affairs, Migration and Tunisians Abroad Minister Nabil Ammar launched on Thursday (11) in São Paulo a commercial and consular office of the Embassy of Tunisia in Brazil. In his visit to the Arab-Brazilian Chamber and talks to the press, he spoke of Brazil-Tunisia relations, BRICS, and fertilizer and olive oil exports.

Brazil deposited an instrument ratifying the Free Trade Agreement between Palestine and Mercosur on July 3, causing the treaty to come into effect between the two countries within 30 days. Brazil’s Foreign Ministry says the agreement is a tangible contribution towards an economically sound Palestinian state.
