S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The S\u00e3o Paulo Development Forum (Fopa<\/a>) honored this Monday (10) the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/strong><\/a>, represented by its president Rubens Hannun (pictured, 2nd<\/sup>, R to L<\/em>). The event was held in Guarulhos, in the Greater S\u00e3o Paulo area, to discuss aspects of the S\u00e3o Paulo State government\u2019s plans. Speakers took turns throughout the day to discuss \u201cThe Resumption of Growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of Fopa’s organizers and the chair of GSCM \u2013 Global Council of Sales Marketing, Agostinho Turbian (2nd<\/sup>, L to R<\/em>) said \u201cthe point was to socialize development.\u201d Speakers from fields including education, healthcare, public security, housing, technology, travel and urban mobility. S\u00e3o Paulo State authorities and service providers were also in attendance.<\/p>\n

Hannun said decades\u2019 worth of work by the Chamber have led to its prominence at the event. \u201cThe Chamber has been based in S\u00e3o Paulo for over 65 years now, and there is no question that throughout its history it has done a lot for the State. It has represented the Arab community in the State of S\u00e3o Paulo, just as it has taken local businesses to Arab countries, facilitating deal-making,\u201d he said, pointing out the relevance of bilateral S\u00e3o Paulo-Arab trade. \u201cMuch of our work is about contributing to S\u00e3o Paulo trade. The Chamber is part of the development of S\u00e3o Paulo,\u201d concluded Hannun.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce is a player in Brazil\u2019s economy which represents 22 countries. We came in contact with the Chamber because we are having an event in Cairo, Egypt, and we would have been unable to do so were it not for the Chamber,\u201d said Turbian, in a reference to the World Company Awards, which will see awards given to Brazilian entrepreneurs in Egypt\u2019s capital later this month.<\/p>\n

Turbian also mentioned international projects. \u201cThe Chamber is at an excellent point in its internationalization process. At this point it has an office in Dubai. This speaks to the vision of the leaders that propel the Chamber forward: going international to do more business,\u201d he said, in a nod to Hannun and to CEO Tamer Mansour (pictured, on the left<\/em>), who was also in attendance.<\/p>\n

Also honored at the event was the commercial consul of Egypt to S\u00e3o Paulo, Mohamed Elkhatib (pictured, on the right<\/em>). \u201cS\u00e3o Paulo is a strong state with lots of opportunity available. Two of the foremost institutions [when it comes to Brazil-Egypt ties] are in S\u00e3o Paulo: GRU Airport, which welcomes the majority of Egyptian travelers to Brazil, and the Port of Santos, which handles 90% of Egypt-Brazil trade,\u201d asserted Elkhatib.<\/p>\n
