They were welcomed by the ABCC\u2019s vice president of marketing, Silvia Antibas, who presented the Arab countries and the activities carried out by the ABCC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Market Intelligence Manager Marcus Vinicius gave a lecture on the Arab countries\u2014a bloc made up of 22 Arabic-speaking nations in North Africa and the Middle East\u2014and their relations with Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his presentation, Vinicius highlighted that the Arab countries together make up the world\u2019s fourth-largest importer and exporter and are the third-largest destination of Brazilian exports. They have a combined population of 482 million people across 11.2 million square kilometers, forming a group of countries with a combined gross domestic product of USD 3.6 trillion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her presentation, Silvia Antibas mentioned that the ABCC has received an increasing number of students at its headquarters. \u201cWe\u2019ve been approached more and more by schools and universities, which makes us very happy, as we have a lot to share and many stereotypes to break [about the Arab countries]. The Arab world is much more than we imagine. It includes wealthy Gulf countries, Middle Eastern nations\u2014many of which sent immigrants to Brazil\u2014as well as North Africa and even Sub-Saharan Africa states,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natalia Fingermann, coordinator of the Center for African Studies and Business (NENAF) in the International Relations program at ESPM, said the visit was important for both academic and professional development. \u201cWe currently have International Relations students in Brazil being trained at ESPM with a focus on corporate diplomacy, which is a key area of work for chambers of commerce in the country. So, we\u2019ve been working to strengthen partnerships with the chambers, even to offer professional internship opportunities for our students,\u201d she said. The students were accompanied during their visit by ABCC Institutional Relations Advisor Bassel Abou Latif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Read more<\/em>:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/college-students-learn-more-about-arab-countries\/\">College students learn more about Arab countries<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-389246\">Marcos Carrieri\/ANBA<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, university students from the International Relations course at the School of Advertising and Marketing (ESPM) attend presentations about the relationship between Arab countries and Brazil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2317,"featured_media":389246,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46537],"tags":[48478,9583,15580,6359,2063],"class_list":{"0":"post-389256","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arab-brazilian-chamber","8":"tag-arab-brazilian-chamber-of-commerce-2","9":"tag-arabs-en","10":"tag-espm","11":"tag-international-relations","12":"tag-middle-east"},"wps_subtitle":"At the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, university students from the International Relations course at the School of Advertising and Marketing (ESPM) attend presentations about the relationship between Arab countries and Brazil.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2317"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389256"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389256\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/389246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=389256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=389256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
