The online event will see the launch of the Brazil-Arab Countries Parliamentary Group. Registrations are open for the free webinar \u201cEncouraging and Developing Brazilian-Arab Bilateral Relations.\u201d Translation into English will be available.<\/p>\n<p>The following speakers will be featured: senator and Group vice-president Jean Paul Prates (<em>pictured above<\/em>); congresswoman and Group vice-president Angela Amin; cerfifying body Fambras Halal president Mohamed Zoghbi; and Arab Chamber president Rubens Hannun. Palestine ambassador to Brazil and Council of Arab Ambassadors in Brazil dean Ibrahim Alzeben will be a special guest. Arab Chamber secretary-general Tamer Mansour will be the moderator.<\/p>\n<p>Hosted in partnership with Fambras Halal, the one-and-a-half-hour webinar will address the maintenance and expansion of Brazilian-Arab bilateral relations; the launch of the <a href=\"http:\/\/frentearabe.com.br\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Parliamentary Group<\/a> and its agenda; the diversification of trade; and the importance of food security at this time. <a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/grupo-parlamentar-brasil-paises-arabes-e-criado-em-brasilia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Established March 5 in Bras\u00edlia<\/a>, the Brazil-Arab Countries Parliamentary Group works to build ties between the Brazilian Congress and the parliaments of Arab countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most important thing is that with these webinars we are helping build and bring about more positive, synergistic avenues, fostering discussions to bring about more strategic work and partnerships,\u201d said Rubens Hannun. The first two webinars focused on <a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/agriculture-ministry-working-to-keep-supplies-available\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">agriculture and exports to Arab countries<\/a> and on <a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/logistics-sector-adapted-swiftly-to-the-pandemic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">logistics<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Hannun argues that the newly formed Group is proof of the importance that Brazil\u2019s Legislative Power is imparting to Arab countries. \u201cWith this Group we will start working harder and with clearer-cut goals. We will identify what is getting in the way of relations and help address these obstacles,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-272143 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/brazil-arab-parliamentary-group-to-launch-during-webinar\/deputada-angela-2\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Deputada-Angela-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-272134\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-272134\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-272134'>\n\t\t\t\tCongresswoman Angela Amin\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/brazil-arab-parliamentary-group-to-launch-during-webinar\/embaixador-ibrahim-1-2\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Embaixador-Ibrahim-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-272137\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-272137\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-272137'>\n\t\t\t\tAmbassador Ibrahim Alzeben\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/brazil-arab-parliamentary-group-to-launch-during-webinar\/mohamed2-2\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Mohamed2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-272131\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-272131\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-272131'>\n\t\t\t\tFambras Halal president Mohamed Zoghbi\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Tamer Mansour said the Parliamentary Group has the clear purpose of \u201cworking as an umbrella to help Brazilian and Arab businesspeople diversify exports, try to reduce paperwork requirements, and work for new free trade agreements, with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, Morocco, Lebanon and other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mohamed Zoghbi said he will discuss halal certification, food security throughout the production chain, legal processes for safety, and the work being done so exports from Brazil do not suffer amid the pandemic. \u201cThe Arabs are increasingly conservative regarding food safety issues.
