According to the embassy\u2019s statement, Saudi Arabia is currently Brazil\u2019s largest trading partner in the Middle East, with bilateral trade of approximately USD 7 billion per year and increasing reciprocal investments. Brazilian companies such as Embraer<\/a>, BTG Pactual<\/a>, and Oncocl\u00ednicas<\/a> are expanding their businesses into the Arab country, while Saudis have announced investments in national companies like Vale<\/a> and BRF<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

The embassy highlights that recent visits by Brazil\u2019s President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva and Vice President Geraldo Alckmin have led to new agreements in the areas of defense technology and agriculture. In turn, Saudi Arabia brought its largest economic forum, the Future Investment Initiative (FII), to Brazil for a special edition, facilitating high-level connections between companies and governments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The embassy also states that at the heart of Saudi Arabia\u2019s transformation is Vision 2030, a strategy led by Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, aimed at diversifying the Saudi economy away from oil by developing industries such as tourism, technology, renewable energy, and entertainment. According to the embassy, these projects create opportunities for Brazilian companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
