Speaking to ANBA after attending the event, ABCC\u2019s Mourad said that Saudi Arabia remains one of Brazil\u2019s major trading partners among Arab countries. \u201cIt\u2019s a country that shows commitment to Brazil not only because we maintain significant trade flows, but also because Saudi investments in Brazil have been increasing,\u201d said the secretary-general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Mourad and Dib, diplomats from Arab countries attended the event. Brazil\u2019s Secretary for Africa and the Middle East at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Carlos S\u00e9rgio Sobral Duarte, spoke about the robust volume of bilateral trade between Brazil and Saudi Arabia. The high frequency of high-level bilateral visits between the two countries, including by President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva and Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah, was also mentioned during the ceremony. Among government representatives, the Director of the Middle East Department at Brazil\u2019s foreign ministry, Cl\u00e9lio Nivaldo Crippa Filho, was present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia\u2019s National Day is celebrated on September 23 each year, marking the unification of the country and its founding by King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud. According to the embassy, the day commemorates the birth of a modern nation built on the foundations of Islam and Arab traditions. On September 21, 1932, a royal decree was issued unifying all parts of the country under the name Saudi Arabia, and the king chose September 23 for the official proclamation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
