This Monday (22) in your ANBA Bulletin: The Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce’s international office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates turned two years old. Upon opening of the outpost in February 2019, the entity began taking in Arab enterprises as members. Brazilian wheat exports to Arab countries hit record in January. Experts say the growth is related to a high demand in the Arab countries and a smaller supply from major producer countries. And several online courses have been made available in Brazil on topics related to the Arab world, from literature to the women issue and history. |
