The two countries “have a lot of business and investment dealing. First of all, we have Vale \u2013 the largest Brazilian company \u2013 having a huge investment in Oman, [an iron ore pelletizing plant at the SOHAR Port, which] is the largest in the Middle East,\u201d Al-Rahbi told ANBA on Thursday (20). \u201cNow they are planning the second plant in Oman. Their operation in Oman started as a co-investment with Omani investment. And now, it is hundred-percent owned by Vale, which exports to the region. It is one of the most successful investments we have in the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding that the trade between the two countries has increased to around USD 2 billion annually, Al-Rahbi said he hopes to increase mutual investment for the next few years through an agreement to establish a joint investment fund. He said that ministries from the two countries have held a series of meetings, and a joint committee meeting is expected to be held in Omani capital Muscat sometime this year, chaired by Brazilian foreign affairs minister Mauro Vieira and Omani commerce and industry minister Qais Mohammed Al Yousef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More projects between Oman and Brazil<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The partnership between the two \u201cneutral, peaceful\u201d countries that work toward \u201cpromoting peace\u201d is also on a cultural level, the ambassador said, adding that a cooperation between the national museums of the two countries will soon link artists from both of them to develop works to promote and manifest the relationship between the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m optimistic that in the coming years, we will witness larger investment between the two countries, but also strengthen the relationship between Oman and Brazil,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n
