Mayors, presidents of associations of municipalities, and congressmen met ambassador Ibrahim Alzeben and discussed the immigration and friendship ties that bring Palestine and Brazil, particularly Rio Grande do Sul, together.<\/p>\n<p>During the meetings, topics included the good relations between Brazil and Palestine and the role of Palestinian Brazilian communities. Alzeben said that Palestinian immigrants and refugees are very hard-working and brave entrepreneurs, so they had a key contribution for the economic, social and cultural progress of Brazil, and this role is even more powerful in Rio Grande do Sul, where there is a large community.<\/p>\n<p>The ambassador asked that, besides the trade interests, the Brazilian solidarity towards the Palestinian people remains active. He pointed out that November 29 is the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, established by the United Nations, it\u2019s important to hold activities alluding to the date.<\/p>\n<p>The group included Eduardo Bonotto (Progressistas), chairman of the Federation of Associations Municipalities of Rio Grande do Sul and mayor of S\u00e3o Borja; Ronnie Mello (Progressistas), president of the Association of Western Border Municipalities of Rio Grande do Sul (AMFRO) and mayor of Uruguaiana; federal deputy Afonso Motta (PDT); and Rio Grande do Sul state deputy Frederico Antunes (PP).<\/p>\n<p>The meeting was also attended by mayors M\u00e1rcio Amaral (Progressistas) of Alegrete, Jaber Mahmud (PDT) of Barra do Quara\u00ed, Leonardo Betin (PL) of Itaqui, Gustavo Medeiros (PDT) of Manuel Viana), Jefferson Pires (PSDB) of Quara\u00ed, and Ana Tarouco (Uni\u00e3o Brasil) of Sant\u2019Ana do Livramento.
