S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Students from the Higher School of Advertising and Marketing (ESPM<\/strong>) had the opportunity to deepen their knowledge about Arab countries<\/strong> on Wednesday (2) at the Nations Fair held alongside the Global Perspective Summit at the \u00c1lvaro Alvim campus in S\u00e3o Paulo, where the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/strong> (ABCC<\/a>) presented the Arab market and the institution\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABCC institutional relations advisor Bassel Abou Latif represented the entity at the fair, where, in addition to the Arab countries, other regions of the world\u2014such as Canada, Japan, and Africa\u2014were presented to students. At individual desks, professionals from organizations linked to these regions and countries engaged in conversations with the students, most of whom are International Relations undergraduates at ESPM<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latif spoke to those interested about Brazil\u2019s relationship with Arab countries<\/strong>, highlighting the economic importance each region holds for the other. Brazil is a key food supplier to the Arab world, playing a significant role in the region\u2019s food security<\/strong>. In return, Arab countries provide fertilizers<\/strong> to the Brazilian market, which are also essential for food production. The trade current includes other products as well, totaling USD 33.8 billion per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Latif, many students were already aware of the economic significance of Brazil\u2019s relationship with Arab countries. \u201cIt\u2019s very rewarding for us when the new generation\u2014which is highly intelligent\u2014understands the economic importance and complementarity between Brazil and the Arab countries. These young people will be the future leaders in foreign trade and diplomacy, representing Brazil and likely managing its relationship with the Arab world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advisor also spoke about the activities of the ABCC, which has been working to connect Arabs and Brazilians since 1952. Latif had the opportunity to discuss the services the institution provides to both Arab and Brazilian companies to foster mutual commercial ties, the organization of Brazilian and Arab participation in trade fairs in each other\u2019s regions, and its support for the governments of Brazil and Arab countries through embassies and other entities in forums, missions, and various initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also spoke about the Muslim-catering halal product market and other topics related to the institution\u2019s areas of work. \u201cIt was very important for the ABCC to participate and provide these students with an understanding of the institution\u2019s role in the relationship between Brazil and Arab countries, as well as the positive impact that such work has on bilateral or multilateral relations,\u201d the advisor told ANBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the space for conversations with students during the parallel fair, the Global Perspective Summit featured debates on foreign relations topics, led by experts in each field. According to the ESPM\u2019s announcement, the goal was to discuss key issues and analyze international trends, considering how they might impact Brazil, its interests, and its businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
