The purpose of the MoU is to reaffirm the relationship between the state and the entity and outline the parameters they intend to cooperate in areas such as education, economic development, sustainability, technological innovation, and cultural exchange. The intention is also to facilitate the exchange of experts and technical visits and expand the dialogue between the parties.<\/p>\n

Feitosa said the state could become a logistical hub for exports to the Arab countries, spoke about the internationalization of companies from Esp\u00edrito Santo and the possibilities for Arab investment in the state. \u201cWe have a set of tax incentives to bring a lot of competitiveness to the state,\u201d he said. Companies such as Marcopolo, Brinox, and Brit\u00e2nia are established in Esp\u00edrito Santo. According to Feitosa, there are opportunities for investment and exports, mainly in the stones and specialty coffee sectors. The Port of Vit\u00f3ria exports around 90% of Brazilian granite.<\/p>\n

Mansour said the ABCC is eager to work on the state\u2019s exports to the Arab countries. \u201cWe can set up a granite showroom here in Dubai,\u201d he suggested. According to the secretary, there are free zones in the UAE dedicated to ornamental stones, as in Ras Al Khaimah.<\/p>\n

He also mentioned envisioning opportunities for Esp\u00edrito Santo not only in the UAE but also in other neighboring countries, such as Kuwait, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. Mansour suggested the state of Esp\u00edrito Santo could bring a mission to the UAE in February or March next year to carry out a roadshow across the region with visits to those countries. The secretary-general also spoke on the possibility of a visit by Arab ambassadors to Brazil to the state of Esp\u00edrito Santo next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really believe this partnership can generate good results. Esp\u00edrito Santo is an uncut gem; the opportunities are endless,\u201d said Feitosa. He invited Mansour to visit Esp\u00edrito Santo and encouraged the ABCC to open a branch office in the state.<\/p>\n
