S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 A great forum should discuss, this month, in the capital of Rio de Janeiro, the situation of Brazilians who live abroad. The Ministry of Foreign Relations should promote, from October 14th to 16th, the 2nd Conference of Brazilian Communities Abroad \u2013 Brazilians Worldwide, at the Itamaraty Palace. According to information by the Ministry, those participating should include politicians and scholars from countries in which there are Brazilian communities.<\/p>\n
From Lebanon, the Arab country that concentrates a large group of Brazilians, will come historian Roberto Khatlab. He is originally from the state of Paran\u00e1 but is of Lebanese descent and operates as a researcher in the Arab country. Khatlab has several books about the migratory ties between Brazil and Lebanon, among them Mahjar, Saga Libanesa no Brasil (Mahjar, The Lebanese Saga in Brazil), published in Lebanon by publishing house Mokhatarat, and Brasil-L\u00edbano, Amizade que desafia a dist\u00e2ncia (Brazil-Lebanon, Friendship that challenges distance), published by Edusc publishing house, in Brazil.<\/p>\n
The meeting in Rio should also bring together several authorities from Brasil and abroad, and should include presentations about activities governments are developing in benefit of Brazilians who live in other nations. There should be panels covering culture and education, labour, social security and health, consular services and migratory regulation as well as political representation.<\/p>\n
Each panel should present its conclusions in a plenary session. There should also be meetings with regional debates. They should be divided into four regions: the first should include North America, South America, Central America and the Caribbean, the second, Europe, the third, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, and the fourth, Oceania. <\/p>\n
On October 15th, in the sidelines of the conference, there should also be the first Meeting of the Legal Brazilian Diaspora, between Brazilian lawyers who operate in the sector abroad. The meeting should take place at the headquarters of the Rio de Janeiro state Chapter of the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB). This is the first meeting of the sort in the tourism area. The Conference of Brazilian Communities Abroad, in turn, is at its second edition.<\/p>\n
