São Paulo – The University of Marília (Unimar), São Paulo will host the Egypt’s Day on November 19. The event will cover business and have activities in the morning and the evening, such as the lecture “The Brazil-Egypt Free Trade,” to be given by Egypt’s commercial consul to São Paulo, Mohamed Elkhatib. The Arab country has a free trade agreement with Brazil.
The morning will see the Business Opportunities with Egypt seminar. It will start at 8:30 am at the Trade and Industry Association of Marília. The consul’s lecture, on the other hand, will start at 7:30 pm at the Unimar’s campus.
The Integrated Nucleus of Research and Extension associated to the Department of International Relations at the university, which organizes the event, reported that it’s defining a program for meetings between the city’s authorities and the Egyptian council.
The initiative is part of the university’s internationalization project, which aims at bringing opportunities of international experiences to both students and professors. So, since 2018, Unimar has outlined a program with days devoted to different countries. Unimar already has a technical, scientific and cultural cooperation network with educational institutions from countries such as the United States.
Egypt’s Day is held by Unimar and the Embassy of the Arab Republic of Egypt in Brazil through the Commercial Office in São Paulo. The event is also supported by the government of the city of Marília through the Secretariats of Culture, Work, Tourism, and Economic Development, the City Council of Marília, NJE – Nucleus of Young Entrepreneurs of ACIM – Trade and Industry Association of Marília, and Project RIWorks.
