S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Brazil and the United Arab Emirates entered this Friday (15) into an agreement for cooperation in tourism. The UAE\u2019 minister of Foreign Affairs Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan (pictured, on the left) and Brazil\u2019s minister of Tourism Marcelo \u00c1lvaro Ant\u00f4nio (on the right) signed the document at the seat of the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in Bras\u00edlia.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian Ministry of Tourism said the agreement provides for the streamlining of formalities and customs procedures to spur bilateral tourism and encourage mutual investment. It also covers the sharing of industry information and promotional material. The Ministry reported that talks for the treaty were underway since last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to enhance ties and tourist flows between the two countries, Ant\u00f4nio was\u00a0quoted by the Ministry of Tourism<\/a>\u00a0as saying. \u201cThe UAE are hugely promising as a source of tourists and an inbound and outbound tourism hub,\u201d Brazil\u2019s foreign minister Ernesto Ara\u00fajo\u00a0told the press<\/a> after a meeting with his Arab counterpart.<\/p>\n

Ara\u00fajo (R): ‘We wish to bring much more investment from the UAE’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As reported by\u00a0ANBA on Thursday (14)<\/a>, Brazil and the UAE have also reached a Cooperation and Facilitation Investment Agreement (CFIA) designed to encourage mutual investments. Talks for this had been ongoing for some time, and the move comes in the wake of a\u00a0double income taxation agreement,<\/a>\u00a0established in 2019, and a\u00a0tourist visa waiver agreement<\/a> which is currently in effect.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrazil has major investments in place in the UAE \u2013 in foodstuffs, for instance \u2013 and so does the UAE in Brazil, in infrastructure, finances and hotels, and I am certain that we are witnessing the beginning of a major step forward in this field,\u201d said Ara\u00fajo.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish to bring much more investment from the UAE into Brazil, where the potentialities are immense, especially due to the potential of UAE investment funds,\u201d stressed Ara\u00fajo. According to him, this is the sixth visit of his Emirati counterpart to Brazil, and this is \u201cproof of the mutual importance imparted to bilateral ties.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dialogue<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Brazilian FM also said an agreement has been reached for legal cooperation. The foreign ministers also discussed the political scenario in the Middle East and South America. \u201cBrazil is ready to support efforts for peace and stability in that region (the Middle East),\u201d said Ara\u00fajo. \u201cI am a big enthusiast for this partnership with the UAE,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
