One of the agreements announced by Lula and el-Sisi is a sanitary protocol that is expected to facilitate beef, pork and poultry exports, creating an equivalence of meat inspection systems, also known as pre-listing.<\/p>\n

According to information from the Brazilian President\u2019s Office, this protocol speeds up the obtainment of a clearance for a production plant to export. Prior to this accord, the renewal of Brazilian establishments\u2019 export licenses required face-to-face audits by the Egyptian authorities. Now, plants certified by Brazil will be automatically recognized by Egypt, which has the right to visit establishments whenever it deems appropriate to verify compliance.<\/p>\n

During the visit, a memorandum of understanding was also signed between Egypt\u2019s Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and Brazil\u2019s Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation. The document \u201creinforces bilateral cooperation\u201d in science and technology and aims to encourage collaboration between companies, universities, and research institutes, including joint research, development, and innovation projects, staff exchange, and seminars.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Arab League, Lula announced his government will make new contributions to the U.N. Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA). He also called other countries to maintain and increase their contributions. \u201cIn this moment when the Palestinian people most needs supports, the rich countries decide to cut their humanitarian aid,\u201d said Lula, referring to a cash crunch the UNRWA is facing after allegations against a few members of its staff.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Lula criticized the format of the U.N. Security Council, which consists of China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, which all have veto powers, and said the organism needs more nations, as well as new geopolitics in the U.N. He went on to criticize Israeli actions in Palestine.<\/p>\n
