Brasília – During a luncheon today (29) in honor of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva affirmed that the two countries will promote mutual trade exchanges. According to Lula, the expansion of trade relations, which doubled this year, "is an indication of the great potential that exists."
In his address prior to the luncheon, Lula pointed out that the meeting scheduled for tomorrow (30) between Musharraf and Brazilian entrepreneurs in São Paulo, will facilitate the identification of new business opportunities.
"His visit to Brazil reinforces my confidence in the future of our relationship and the contribution we can make to a less asymmetrical international order and a trade geography more suited to our interests," President Lula emphasized.
According to the Brazilian President, the four bilateral treaties signed today in the spheres of the war on narcotraffic, nutritional security, visa exemptions, and the establishment of regular consulting mechanisms for matters of mutual interest represent an assurance that Brazil and Pakistan will continue to find innovative ways to get together to satisfy common interests.
