The ambassador met with companies like Eurofarma.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAnother critical sector for Egypt is pharmaceuticals. To address opportunities in the field, the diplomat met with representatives from Eurofarma, a multinational company in the pharmaceutical sector fully controlled by Brazilians. \u201cEgypt has a very mature pharmaceutical industry, with large companies. The same happens in the research and development area, with the majority being private companies. There is potential there for a lot of cooperation. Of course, selling and buying are always possibilities, but I am talking about the potential to go beyond that. For joint ventures that make it possible for Eurofarma to enter this large market that Egypt is, also through free trade agreements with Arab and African countries,\u201d concluded the ambassador, recalling that having a presence in Egypt could serve as a gateway to enter other markets.<\/p>\n
Aboumagd also met with executives from BRF, one of the largest food companies in the world and an essential supplier of poultry and beef to Egypt. \u00a0\u201cWe discussed all the aspects because, as an ambassador, it is my job to resolve issues when they arise. So, I listened to some concerns and pledged to report them to Cairo. BRF is a significant exporter of poultry and beef, and I am happy that we can continue this relationship,\u201d he said. The diplomat should also have a meeting with JBS when he returns to Bras\u00edlia.<\/p>\n
At the Federation of Industries of the State of S\u00e3o Paulo (FIESP), the ambassador talked with Paulo Skaf, then president of the institution. \u201cWe held detailed discussions about the current state of trade relations between Egypt and businesses in the state of S\u00e3o Paulo. We also agreed to arrange a series of meetings between businesses and industry leaders from both sides soon. We emphasized the importance of expanding not only trade relations but also the need to focus on cooperation which adds value, such as joint ventures, mutual investment possibilities, and cooperation in research and development,\u201d concluded the diplomat.<\/p>\n
Also, in S\u00e3o Paulo, the ambassador spoke with executives from Wadi Al Zaytoon, an Egyptian brand exporting to Brazil, and from Vicunha, a company with a presence in several sectors, including the production of jeans. The diplomat\u2019s agenda in S\u00e3o Paulo also included a visit to the Coptic Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Mark and meetings with representatives of the Get\u00falio Vargas Foundation College (FGV) and the Federation of Muslim Associations of Brazil (FAMBRAS).<\/p>\n
