The Egyptian ambassador to Brasília, Wael Aboumagd, had several appointments this week to start talks with different sectors in São Paulo. “On the business side, the relationship between Brazil and Egypt is going well, but we can do better. On the people-to-people side, we need to work a lot to bring the culture and the arts. At the governmental level, there is a lot of potential, too. Brazil is the leader in this region, and Egypt is the leader in its region. And we should have a much more diverse and dynamic mutual relationship than we have right now. I’m always looking for potential, and I’m never quite satisfied. We always have to do better,” he said in an exclusive interview with ANBA.
