A report released by the Chamber has stated that the Brazilian exports bound to the Arab nations increased 15.4 percent during H1 2017 as compared to
the corresponding period last year.

Dr Michel Al Halabi, Secretary General of the Chamber, attributed the growth in trade exchange to the
resilient relations binding the two sides and the blossoming partnerships across all fields.
