Organised by the Dubai Exports representative office in Brazil, the forum was part of a trade mission jointly organised by Dubai Exports, Dubai Islamic Economy Development Centre and Dubai South to Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay to promote export capabilities in the emirate and the UAE in general.
Saleh Al Suwaidi, UAE Consul-General in Sao Paulo, Engineer Saed Al Awadi, CEO of Dubai Exports, and senior Brazilian officials led by Ana Fava, head of the Special Advisory for International Affairs in the Sao Paulo government, were present at the forum.
Fava lauded the efforts of the UAE Consulate General in Sao Paulo for its successful efforts in improving UAE-Brazil bilateral engagement, particularly in areas such as economy, culture and renewable energy.
"The UAE is keen to promote our economic relations with Brazil in general, and particularly with Sao Paulo. Through this forum, we seek to send a clear message that the UAE business community is interested to engage with Brazil, most notably in the Islamic economy sector," said Al Suwaidi.
Al Awadi said Dubai Exports focuses on strengthening Dubai's export and re-export advantages. "Dubai Exports contributes to Dubai's strategy of providing a strong platform for businessmen and investors, particularly exporters and small and medium entrepreneurs, to connect to fast-growing markets in the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia."
"Through promoting the halal activities across sectors such as education, services and Islamic finance, we seek to support Dubai's Islamic economy capital initiative. Dubai Exports is also keen to highlight the advantages of doing business in Dubai and the export capabilities of the emirate through visits and bilateral meetings abroad, especially direct interactions with the private sector."
Al Awadi also emphasised the importance of the 'hub-to-hub' initiative that was launched in co-operation with the Dubai Islamic Economy Development Centre in support of efforts to establish Dubai as a global hub for halal products and also linked to countries exporting or importing halal products.
Abdulla Al Awar, CEO of the Dubai Islamic Economy Development Centre, said: "With the growing international interest in Islamic economy, this forum has great significance. It opens up new avenues for investment between Dubai and Latin American countries."
