On the occasion, ambassador Nasser Almotairi (<em>pictured<\/em>) received authorities and diplomats from Brazil and the Arab countries and took the opportunity to announce the Brazil-Kuwait Economic Forum, expected to be held in June this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe there are great investment opportunities in Brazil, mainly in <strong>renewable energy<\/strong>, infrastructure, and food security, and the time has come to move from commercial exchange to strategic cooperation. From this perspective, preparations are underway for holding the first [Brazil-Kuwait] <strong>Economic Forum<\/strong> next June. In this context, I would like to thank the president of the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC), ambassador Osmar Chohfi, and the secretary-general, Tamer Mansour, for the support and facilitations provided,\u201d said ambassador Almotairi.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_324899\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-324899\" style=\"width: 355px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/data-nacional-kuwait.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-324901\" src=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/data-nacional-kuwait-600x358.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"355\" height=\"212\" data-wp-editing=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/data-nacional-kuwait-600x358.jpg 600w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/data-nacional-kuwait-1024x612.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/data-nacional-kuwait-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/data-nacional-kuwait-768x459.jpg 768w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/data-nacional-kuwait.jpg 1277w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-324899\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Brazil &amp; Kuwait: Over 50 years of diplomatic ties<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Brazil and Kuwait established diplomatic relations over 50 years ago and have seen growth in all fields, recalled the ambassador. \u201cIn the political field, several visits by authorities were exchanged, in addition to holding more than one round of political consultations.
