São Paulo – The Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) and certifier FAMBRAS Halal hosted a dinner party in honor of the ambassador of Egypt to Brazil, Wael Aboulmagd, who is ending his stint in the country.
The dinner occurred this Tuesday (24) in the capital of São Paulo after the two institutions held the Global Halal Brazil Business Forum (GHB), a two-day major event about the halal market.
The president of the ABCC, ambassador Osmar Chohfi, and the president of FAMBRAS Halal, Mohamed Zoghbi, presented gifts to the Egyptian ambassador. Other diplomats, heads of the Arab community in Brazil, and representatives from the two institutions participated in the farewell dinner.
Egypt is an important trading partner of Brazil. Brazilians are major food suppliers to the Arab country, while Egyptians export products such as fertilizers to Brazil. A free trade agreement between Mercosur and Egypt has also boosted bilateral trade in other segments.
