My father\u2019s entire family is from here. So, I also have blood ties to S\u00e3o Paulo. It\u2019s an extraordinary city\u2014I think it\u2019s one of the best cities in South America,\u201d says Oliveira. Born in Rio de Janeiro, the diplomat studied Philosophy and Architecture before joining the Rio Branco Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In S\u00e3o Paulo, the Eresp represents the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to local authorities and organizations, including in Brazil\u2019s international trade relations; acts as an interface with consulates; provides support to authorities passing through the city, including those in transit to other destinations in South America; among other responsibilities. Within this scope, one of the goals of the new head of Eresp is to visit the chambers of commerce in S\u00e3o Paulo to assess the need for engagement. According to him, there are over 40 chambers of commerce in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/eresp-3-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Representatives from the Arab Chamber and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs met\" class=\"wp-image-384300\" style=\"width:368px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/eresp-3-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/eresp-3-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/eresp-3-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/eresp-3-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/eresp-3-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/eresp-3-450x338.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/eresp-3-1200x900.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/eresp-3.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Representatives from the Arab Chamber and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs met<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese chambers are obviously an indication of the very dynamic relationship (Brazil has with these countries),\u201d Oliveira told ANBA. The ABCC represents the 22 countries that make up the Arab League. \u201cAll of this reflects the importance of Brazil\u2019s trade with the rest of the world,\u201d said the diplomat, referring to the presence of trade chambers in the country, adding that this is also a facet of Brazil\u2019s international relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In regard to the Arab world, Oliveira says Brazil has a strong relationship with the countries in the region and recalls the South America-Arab Countries Summit (ASPA), whose first edition took place during President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva\u2019s first term in Brazil. The summit fostered a strong connection between the regions. \u201cIt created a great alignment; I believe it was that summit that showed how Brazil and the Arab countries can be great partners,\u201d he says. He also believes that the Arab Brazilian population helps bring Brazil closer to Arab nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>At the Arab-Brazilian Chamber<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the ABCC meeting, the ambassador was received by president William Adib Dib Jr., international relations vice president and secretary-general Mohamad Mourad, and institutional relations director Fernanda Baltazar.
